I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.
This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.
When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.

I can tell you how to use AI… for money.

Oh, great, thanks! You’re a real lifesaver. [Proceeds to pay more than he would have paid for the real developer, to spend more time to create vibe-coded tech-illiterate trash.]

That’s the great AI grift, by the time you realize it’s not working, you already spent your money.
All you got is some half baked product that kind of works maybe. But how do you deploy and support it especially when it goes wrong?
How do you recover the system? And get AI to patch the system and do the next release? And guarantee it all works because now your customers are angry and demanding it just work tomorrow.
