GOFAI was also a paradigm shift, regardless of that winter. For example, banks started automating assessments of creditworthiness.

What we didn't get was what had been expected, namely things like expert systems that were actual experts, so called 'general intelligence' and war waged through 'blackboard systems'.

We've had voice controlled electronics for a long time. On the other hand, machine vision applications have improved massively in certain niches, and also allowed for new forms of intense tyranny and surveillance where errors are actually considered a feature rather than a bug since they erode civil liberties and human rights but are still broadly accepted because 'computer says'.

While you could likely argue "leaps and bounds with novel methods utilizing AI for chemistry, computational geometry, biology etc." by downplaying the first part or clarifying that it is mainly an expectation, I think most people are going to, for the foreseeable future, keep seeing "AI" as more or less synonymous with synthetic infantile chatbot personalities that substitute for human contact.
