The real reason enterprise AI is stuck

# Why Enterprise AI Keeps Disappointing in Real-World Use Companies are still treating AI like magic instead of engineering it like reliable software, which is why impressive demos rarely translate into actual business value. The industry relies on human-like descriptions (AI "dreams," "remembers," "plans") that make these systems sound familiar but don't provide the formal rules needed to make them work consistently at scale. Until businesses stop using metaphors and start building AI with the same rigorous, measurable standards they use for databases or other proven software, enterprise AI will stay stuck between impressive promises and messy reality.
