When AI makes one thing easy to do, it’s always good to assume that will equally be the case for everyone else. If it’s the case for everyone else, then that means competitive forces will ensure that resources move to new or other areas that create differentiation.
If AI makes building software easier, then there will be a relative increase in resources going into sales, marketing, and customer success, because standing out or going deeper with customers else becomes even more important.
This will also apply to lots of other areas of work. If you automate getting financial advice and insights, then the differentiation is in client engagement. And on and on.
Just ask yourself: if everyone else does exactly what I do with this technology, how will I stand out from everyone else? That’s what happens next.

Starting to REALLY see how reaching potential customers is becoming a massive pain point for software startups - esp w AI!
I get so much more messages about software that founders built rapidly that they think will solve some important problem (usually eg AI+context/trust/security).
But how will anyone know about it?
It was fast to build, but getting the world to know about it / care about it is increasingly hard/expensive/time-consuming.
And the irony is: the "easier" it is to build, the more the only differentiation is marketing/advertising! (Because the easier it is to build, the more teams build something similar in parallel, and racing to win the market becomes key!)
