My hot take on AI: the interesting part is not the technology, it is that the gap between having an idea and having a working thing just collapsed.
Ten years ago, if you wanted to build an app, you either learned to code or found someone to pay. Both were real barriers and both filtered out most people. That filter is mostly gone now. You still have to do the work, you still have to know what you are building and why, but the part that used to require a degree or a budget does not anymore.
I think the people who spend the next year actually using these tools will be in a very different position than the people who spend it having opinions about them. Not because AI makes you money, but because building things teaches you things, and most people never get to the building part.
I put together a free starter tool for turning an idea into an actual first step. It is in my bio. Go make something.
