"The biggest unlock of AI nowadays is how generative anyone can be, you can put stuff out everywhere, all the time. It clears the cobwebs, it puts products into the wild that fail or flourish."
Isn't it a very one-sided vantage point?
I mean, if many people generate *a lot* of things just to "clear the cobwebs," how does the end game look? It's tons upon tons upon tons of half-baked products (because hours/days, not weeks/months effort invested) fighting for our attention.
This necessarily means that, despite the AI promise, it will be increasingly more difficult to succeed. It will be like Spotify (and streaming platforms in general) but for digital products. We have "winner takes it all" with music:
* The most famous earn even more.
* The long tail, while we democratized their access to the audiences, can't make a living out of streaming platforms.
* Oh, and just wait till Spotify is flooded by AI-generated music...
I expect the same dynamics to apply to digital products. So, instead of cheerleading wanna-be founders, we should rather tell them, "Buckle up, it's gonna be a tough ride."

I read this as you have you own personal evals ;) care to share your main use cases and criteria for them?
