there is no "software" that a lot of people want, yet nobody managed to create yet because they failed too due to it was being hard to implement (excluding AGI/ASI which is not really software) | ||||||||

As a person who has a number of relatively niche hobbies, I assure you that this is not true. There's a ton of simple things that can be build and will make an immediate difference in the lives of thousands. Watch the workflow any musician, videographer, machinist, etc - they're full of small, weird inefficiencies that AI hasn't really solved for them. It's just that you can't build a billion-dollar company around it. No one could go to a VC and say "we're going to be the Uber of focus stacking and dust removal for microscopy" or "we're the Uber of aligning the beats in two audio tracks". | ||||||||

> there is no "software" that a lot of people want, yet nobody managed to create yet because they failed too due to it was being hard to implement (excluding AGI/ASI which is not really software) What!? I can think of about a billion examples... but for one, I'm still waiting for a good enough CFD/FEM coupled system to model paraglider dynamics across collapse/recovery. And I expect to be waiting quite a while. | ||||||||

5 minutes of wikipedia search would give you plenty examples of complicated software engineering problems that would have a big impact on everyone's life. | ||||||||

This is not true. What is the perfect video game that makes the user infinitely happy? What is the perfect economy optimizing program? What algorithm can solve political strife? | ||||||||
