  1. Our readingBecause anyone can now rebuild whatever you make, the ordinary incentive to build software has been knocked out from under us.

  3. Our readingAnything a person can describe, AI can now produce — software has reached the point image generation reached with style.

    Their wordsif you can describe a style, AI can generate it. And the same with software. If you can describe a software, then AI can build it for you.

  5. Our readingEvery product put into the world removes the need for imagination, because it becomes something anyone can point AI at and copy.

    Their wordsAnd the more you build, right? The more you put things out there, you remove the need for imagination. You can say, "Okay, now I like that website. Do that for me."

  7. Our readingThe hard question is no longer how to build something but what to build, because anything already described can be replicated.

    Their wordsAnd the question nowadays is less about like how to build because if you can describe the problem in the solution you want, usually AI can do it. Maybe not today, but maybe like two or three years from now on they can do a lot of those. The question is like what to build because we talk about like yes, if something exists, right? AI can replicate it.
