I almost think deep learning and mobile phones had an analogous and surprising applicability
Deep learning failed to solve self-driving. In 2012 people said self driving would probably be ubiquitous by 2018, and it definitely would be by 2020
Instead we got chat bots in 2022 - that turned out to be the killer app, certainly the most widely adopted one
Likewise, instead of mobile phones being used as an aid in the physical world, they became the world
For example, the media they transmit seems to be how elections are won and lost now. It’s the device by which people form impressions of huge parts of the world
