I have yet to speak to any actual expert who believes we will see any of the "I" in "AI" anytime soon, if ever.

You must be using a peculiar definition of expert because even generally conservative AI experts like LeCun now expect we could have human-level intelligence within 5 to 10 years.

You should hear about the movement to take the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary.

Not to call into question your experience, but for gauging this anecdote: what sorts/levels of experts and how many have you been speaking with?

There are some comments that, even if I was blindfolded and only had to listen to them through a loudspeaker, I would immediately recognize as coming from some HN commenter who thinks they're being really smart.

This is one of those such comments. It begs the question: have you actually used any of these "AI"s, or are just reading about them on HN?
