The article discusses the emergence of mid-technology, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence, expressing disappointment over its mediocre contributions to society and work. It highlights that while there are some innovative applications of AI in academia, many implementations result in small, insignificant improvements, such as reducing time for tasks without enhancing effectiveness. Examples from AI's role in consumer automation and airport security illustrate that these so-called transformative technologies often yield lackluster results, reinforcing that the mid-technology trend produces underwhelming outcomes, which could ultimately become just background noise in our daily operations.
The mid-technology revolution has come for us, with AI promising mediocre improvements rather than transformative disruption, marking a trend of underwhelming innovations.
Despite showcasing exciting potential, AI applications in the workforce often lead to mediocre outcomes, such as only reducing task completion time without significant advancement.
