why demos wow and products dissapoint
This shows up a lot once you move from demo to actual ops.
in a demo, one good output is enough but in production, the 5th edge case is what breaks trust.
Especially in workflows like returns or delivery updates during peak periods - one wrong answer isn’t a small miss. it compounds quickly.
so the challenge isn’t proving the model works once.
it’s making sure the system behaves predictably when things aren’t clean.
And that part rarely shows up in demos.
That’s true! Workflow gaps show up when you scale and/or have users actually tinker with the product
This is really well explained, thank you. I’m starting to integrate AI as a productivity tool and finding the training of it…fun but tedious. Hard to actually replicate the human mind, turns out!
