A.I. is More A Than I

Artificial Intelligence has been garnering so much recognition across all sides of the internet (and here IRL too); this evolution of technology has found its way to the headlines in recent years, although great expectations can create great failures.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology highlighted a major problem within the A.I. Industry, in which 95% of companies that greenlight A.I. projects have not been making any money from it to this point. The remaining five percent of businesses succeed at “rapid-revenue acceleration.”

Many companies seem to be so focused on the hype and the future of A.I. that they’re focusing less on making the actual A.I. applications they create and use work properly. The best A.I. products successfully completed 30% of office tasks handed to them, while any of the rest that were compared did considerably worse.

It doesn’t help that the financial expectations for A.I. have also been exaggerated over the last decade. I mean $6 trillion contributed by 2030? The high-tech companies expect $600 billion in yearly revenue, but they’ve been failing to make the numbers in return every year, and the expected revenue is only increasing. Obviously, this creates a problem.

Take Apple, for example, despite being one of the most valuable and renowned companies in the world is falling way behind in the competition of A.I. This problem was so bad for the company that they even went out of their way to falsely advertise their Apple Intelligence features and research in April 2025. This would end up receiving a class-action lawsuit from Clarkson Law Firm, stating that “What we are witnessing is AI-washing.” -Tim Giordano

Apple itself would practically give up on Apple Intelligence in favor of OpenAI as its first partner, as many have been aware of ChatGPT’s more advanced technology in contrast to Apple’s Siri to this day.

It also doesn’t really help that people seem to be exaggerating about A.I. taking over the workforce. People are worried about having their jobs taken over and having manual labor serve no purpose anymore. Right. But why?

A.I. is essentially just a trained model and lacks memory and previous interaction. Developers instead and extra engineering to make you believe that A.I. has memories of you; otherwise, it wouldn’t remember anything about you, your conversations, or anything. Not to mention the technical debt that would be risked if we were to put memory integration into A.I., engineering solutions are already a problem without A.I.

Blake’s principal, our own Mr. Adelekan, uses artificial intelligence himself, believing that “artificial intelligence is a useful tool to make things we do, some things we do more efficiently.” However, he doesn’t want to support or overuse A.I. too much in favor of “replacing original human thought of ideas and authenticity.” Although he personally believes that “[he] wants to be cautious from saying that it is part of the future,” stating that “you can’t replace humans and some of the things that humans bring to the workforce and what humans bring to society.”

Although, like it or not, artificial intelligence has now taken a substantial role since its appearance this decade, and it seems like it’s here to stay. Although it’s best to be more patient for more successful appearances to occur within the space, before many developers, engineers, and big companies leave too much room for error, for the general public.
