You have just described Pareto's principle[0] the 80/20 rule. It takes 20% of the effort to get to 80% but it then takes 80% of the the effort to finish the final 20%.

AI seems like Pareto's principle combined with Zeno's paradox.

Not because goal posts keep moving, but because we can only do 80% of the remaining distance each time, and the remaining 20% is still obvious.

The thing with software is, it happens slowly... then it happens all at once.
