I have read a book by Mustafa Suleyman about the impact AI is going to have on the future. There’s one chapter I remember in particular, where he mentioned that in the beginning of the internet, when it became apparent, that it would succeed, people asked themselves, whether it would benefit the ultra-wealthy by creating mega-corporations or the small dedicated builders by enabling to start a company more easily. Today we know, that it helped both of these groups at the same time. I think the same thing might be true for AI, though there’s a difference: AI has made it so much easier to build a product in such a short period of time, that the number of small builders is just going through the roof and marketing one’s product becomes so difficult, that the only way to grow seems to be to spend millions on it. And all of the money the small builders spend on tokens just benefit the mega corporations even more. I’m a startup builder myself. 3 years ago I built DocGPT (technically not a good product) and at that time I was very easily able to get 60k users without spending more than $1k. Today I build computer agents (technically a great product) and I can guarantee that it got astronomically harder within the past 3 years to get users for your AI company. submitted by /u/docgpt-io
