Answer.AI: 'So Where Are All the AI Apps?' — Jeremy Howard's Team Questions the Application Gap

Answer.AI·medium signal

Answer.AI's post asking why the explosion of AI capabilities hasn't produced a corresponding explosion of useful applications hit 382 points and 350 comments on HN.

The intense discussion (nearly 1:1 comment-to-point ratio) suggests this resonates deeply with builders who feel the gap between AI potential and shipped products.
