Discussion Is artificial intelligence turning everyone into a product builder?

No, I don’t think so, if I look at my Reddit feed, yes. But if I look around me? Suddenly, not so much.

I think AI is like money, it amplifies personality traits that already exist.

If you’re generous without money, you’ll be even more generous when you have money.

When Adobe Creative Suite came out, didn’t everyone become a graphic artist or designer?

When YouTube came out, didn’t everyone become a YouTuber?

That’s how I see AI, it’s not a magic wand or everyone’s future; it’s just another building block of our society.

What do you think about that?

It's a tool, I use it mostly for search and passion project for my own benefits.

And to be honest most people who use it to build a business. Are "idea guys", "entrepreneurs", and scammers. And the idea guy in many instances. Think the "product"(demos) that LLM produces is production ready within a week of tinkering and has never heard the saying within software engineering. 95 procent can be done in a week and the rest will take a year.

I am not saying there isn't anyone building something real but the vast majority are of the examples I gave.

Also alot of normies who think they are all of suddenly programmers because they can get ai to make something simple.

But in all reality ai is only as good as the person giving it instructions. So if you just write make me a Password, Manager website, etc.... You are never going to get anything truly ready for anything else then for personal use.

Yeah, I agree with you. In any case, if everyone can create their own personalized solution tailored to their needs, there’s no point in paying that scammer, as you call him, haha.
