Starting a company is all about initiative. Taking action after talking to customers and learning about their problems. AI is about responding to prompts. No LLM takes action on its own. It doesn't define or find target customers or interview them or figure out new solutions that save them time and money. AI can help with each of these things by summarizing and generating content, but it doesn't do them without the right, human-generated, prompts.

This looks like a rant from someone who is trying to justify their non-engineering job, which at face value is harder to justify than an engineering job. We will hear a lot of cries like it over the next decade, and they're all futile.
