"Medium AI" is definitely useful, as long as you have the correct interfacing and apply it to the correct problems. Obviously you can't just slap it onto an AI-complete problem and have medium AI perform well enough to ship. We are probably roughly in agreement here, but I disagree that in reality there's a significant uncanny valley effect. It's just hard for those not in the field to intuit about the capabilities of medium AI.
