Maybe the resume credibility is not what it was once perceived to be. I also find it hard to take Facebook AI seriously and have no reason as of yet to believe it won’t be used for low brow reasons like increasing user addiction to their apps, censorship of user opinions, or increasing advertising engagement. In fact, I am skeptical of AI and ML in general for its effectiveness, purpose, and applications.

Agreed. It's all about the application and purpose (and the hubris of some of its practitioners), not the theory (or even the demonstrated effectiveness in certain areas).
When we see these disconnects at "work", on the ground -- in terms of lack of relevance / applicability to what the business actually needs -- they are sometimes quite startling, in fact.
