We’ve hit a pivotal AI moment! Three fresh reports confirm we’re moving into the next stage of the hype cycle, where complaints about AI not delivering get louder.
But don’t get distracted. Stay focused. Experiment. Watch what works (When wasn’t that a good idea? But hey, this is the market).
The pivotal shift is this:
▪️ FROM “AI replaces humans” (stages 1–2)
▪️ TO “Humans in the loop” (AI observability, stages 2–3)
Example? I see this suggested on LinkedIn: one big prompt to answer everything. That’s ‘horseless carriage’ thinking. AI isn’t software.
▪️ One massive prompt = rule-based mindset, minimal human input → works for software
▪️ Many smaller, sequential prompts = humans in the loop → works for AI
Here are the three reports that back this up (three is a trend 😁).
▪️ MIT (Aug 2025): “95% of organizations are getting zero return.”
▪️ Gartner (May 2024): “Only 48% of AI projects make it into production.”
▪️ ITPro (Jan 2025): “67% of firms have less than half of generative AI pilots reach production.”
