I find your post kind of interesting. I develop software in a non-AI field and have been following and experimenting with AI on the side for a long time. Academics seem intent on publishing papers, not finding solutions to creating value. Corporate AI seems focused on sizzle not substance.

It is so frustrating to see the potential in the AI world and realize almost no one is really interested in building it.

I agree that it's a shame that many research results do not get to be "industrialized" and actually used, but also I feel like many research results are created in such a sterile way that they wouldn't be applicable to real world scenarios.

I think what we got really good at is "perceptive" ML, like speech and image recognition, and those things do see industry applications, like self-driving cars or voice assistants.

I'd be interested to know where you see unrealized potential.
