I love this answer because it resonates. As a former business person who learned the technical ins and outs, I believe the reason why this is happening is because majority of the population is uneducated how general tech works under the hood. I am not even speaking about coding syntax but the abstractions of what does AI actually mean, how it works with data and what are the limitations.

The vast majority of business people think they get it, but they majorly overestimate the work required to actually produce output (whether it's ML or software in general). However that's hard to do when you haven't actually done it (talking about deliberate practice).

Despite that gap, we still need to push commercially viable apps out there to seek progress, the question is rather what is the gap between the reality and expectations and what is really being marketed as a capability.
