So let me get this straight, in this article we have:

- One guy selling shovels (AI “tools”) to clueless people

- Another guy who started and then folded his business in two months

- A chatGPT wrapper (it’s literally called chatPRD)

This is our evidence of the rise of solo million dollar companies? There are surely businesses out there but is AI really the driving reason here?

I’m convinced there is an entire sector of AI now built on scamming clueless people into thinking they can build their own AI B2B SaaS and purchasing tools & “things” without realizing building the product was always the easiest part.

> building the product was always the easiest part

building a product is the easiest part but building a good product that people want to use, pay for and functions without any issues is still as hard as ever.

i consistently see this sentiment online that "building is easy, marketing is hard" but then i see the product and its absolute AI generated slop I wouldnt touch for free

"building the product was always the easiest part."

It is so harsh. It is so painful. It is 100% true. I thought there would be an explosion in new software now that AI makes coding approach free (time or costs). Nope.

		Keep an eye on the game modding communities. From my perspective the breadth and depth of individual effort has exploded over the past year or so, lots of big projects for older games too.

		I do think, there is. But just software, which is only used by the person who vibed it. And which never gets out to a broader public. Beyond that, you are right.
