“AI can’t do X!”
“AI isn’t actually thinking.”
“AI made a mistake.”

All true.

But here’s the part people miss:
Today is the worst AI will ever be.

It only gets better from here.

We judge AI like it’s finished growing

There’s a bad habit in the business world. We evaluate emerging technology like it’s a final product. Like it’s fully mature.

AI is still learning to walk.

Think back to 1994. The internet was a mess of broken links and dial-up tones. You don’t judge Google by what it was back then. But somehow people look at AI and say, “Meh, it’s not ready.”

That’s a mistake.

This thing is compounding faster than anything we’ve ever built

AI isn’t just improving. It’s evolving at breakneck speed. New models drop monthly. They write better, reason deeper, understand more context. And the pace is accelerating.

A workflow that felt magical last quarter already feels slow.
A tool that struggled last year is now solving real problems in operations, marketing, logistics, and finance.

This isn’t steady growth. This is exponential.

It’s not Moore’s Law. It’s Moore’s Law strapped to a rocket.

Limits are illusions… until they’re not

“AI can’t plan.”
“AI hallucinates.”
“AI can’t understand nuance.”

Those aren’t fundamental flaws. They’re today’s snapshot.

And they’re already changing.

Every major limit we point to now is a temporary constraint. The models are learning. The interfaces are evolving. The guardrails are getting smarter.

In 12 months, people will laugh at what AI couldn’t do today.

While you wait, someone else builds leverage

Caution is fine. But too much caution is a moat around mediocrity.

Waiting for perfect AI is like refusing to use email in the ’90s because it was slow. Sure. It wasn’t great. But the people who adopted early didn’t wait for perfect. They learned while the rest hesitated.

Right now, the smartest operators are gaining ground. Quietly. Methodically. They’re automating repetitive tasks. Delegating research. Building internal copilots that get sharper every week.

They’re not waiting for AI to get good.

They’re building for when it gets great.

You’re not betting on the present. You’re seeing the trendline.

Nobody’s saying AI today is flawless.

What we’re saying is this:

If today’s AI can already do this much…

  • What happens when it’s 10x better?
  • 20x faster?
  • Everywhere?

This is the baseline. The floor. The starting point.

Final word

So the next time you hear someone say,
“AI isn’t good enough yet…”

Just nod.

And remember:
Today is the worst AI will ever be.
