AI Innovation and the Messy Reality of Implementation
Somewhere between the keynote stages, the glossy model announcements, and the viral AI demos, there’s a space nobody really wants to look at too closely. It’s not glamorous. It doesn’t fit into a launch video. It doesn’t get you a billion-dollar valuation. That space is where most actual people live: the gap between AI innovation and AI implementation.
On the innovation side, everything looks unstoppable. Every few months, new models arrive with more parameters, better benchmarks, new abilities. The press writes about “AGI trajectories” and “runaway capabilities.” Investors talk about disruption. Founders talk about platforms. It’s all sharp edges and perfect lighting.
On the implementation side, things look very different. Here, in the real world, a single login loop on Apple Podcasts can paralyze an entire publishing pipeline. A browser bug can make your creative work vanish into a spinning wheel. An “unexpected keyword argument” in a library call can freeze your automation for a week. People are still trapped in interfaces designed when MySpace was relevant. IT departments are afraid of their own tools. Users stare at blinking cursors and have no idea how to turn models into workflows.
