I have recently identified an idea for a software product that I am currently exploring and believe is worth pursuing. I also happened to stumble upon a journalist’s unflattering opinion about the CEO of one of the popular LLM providers a few days ago. Regardless of whether the accusations are true, they prompted me to think: how safe is it to use existing AI chatbots (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to explore and develop business ideas? It’s one thing to use your favorite AI chatbot to investigate if an idea “has teeth” and if there is a market for it. One could argue that since you haven’t developed anything yet, everything is fair game. However, when I use an AI to spare and figure out the actual mechanics of the product and to build it, I feel that I am effectively sharing the “keys to the kingdom” (assuming there is a actually meat on what I’m building) with an organization that has orders of magnitude more resources than I do to build and market it. Is anyone else also worried that AI chatbots might be monitored to identify and “pre-empt” high-potential ideas or actual products? submitted by /u/2thick2fly
