You have just described Pareto's principle[0] the 80/20 rule. It takes 20% of the effort to get to 80% but it then takes 80% of the the effort to finish the final 20%.

The thing with software is, it happens slowly... then it happens all at once.

AI seems like Pareto's principle combined with Zeno's paradox.

Not because goal posts keep moving, but because we can only do 80% of the remaining distance each time, and the remaining 20% is still obvious.
