I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.
This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.
When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.
Exactly this. If you hear people talking about investments around the Thanksgiving table, its time to bail. All the smart people got in months ago and have left, they are just looking for bag holders now.
Why would someone ask a person to explain an AI response they didn’t understand? Like, you’ve already offloaded the most important part from a human brain (getting a fucking answer)… Why wouldn’t you at least then ASK THE AI TO REPHRASE AND SUMMARIZE the response you didn’t understand? That’s the thing it’s actually good at doing ffs.
Oh, great, thanks! You’re a real lifesaver. [Proceeds to pay more than he would have paid for the real developer, to spend more time to create vibe-coded tech-illiterate trash.]
That’s the great AI grift, by the time you realize it’s not working, you already spent your money.
All you got is some half baked product that kind of works maybe. But how do you deploy and support it especially when it goes wrong?
How do you recover the system? And get AI to patch the system and do the next release? And guarantee it all works because now your customers are angry and demanding it just work tomorrow.
Maybe, maybe not. Bitcoin circa 2017 underwent a similar transformation and if you avoided that investment you would have missed a big opportunity. Time will tell but mass awareness isn’t the predictor.

Lmao, I think all the smart people avoided investing in AI in the first place 😂
there was major money to be made if you had the money to start with
What about every other darn day, at lunch, from your higher ups at work

They are also the largest group by far. Doesn’t really mean much aside from the fact that adoption is now widespread.
That’s the real truth. Run like hell when luckless chumps show up looking all enthusiastic
If AI is so good they should try asking it that. See where that ends up.
That’s the right strategy. They want to use ai, so let them. No need to speak to professionals who will use ai anyway.
I can tell you how to use AI… for money.
