The hype cycle will soon fade, the trough of disillusionment will set in and a lot of these magical promises will be undone as will the companies that have made them.
AI one-shotting is a good way to grow fast but it doesn’t magically make the negative gross margins that come with it a good business idea. The narrow path to victory for these folks is if you can grow super fast and do a well timed sale (Windsurf, Cursor).
Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
The idea of "one shotting" an app using AI is a fugazi. If you had to describe my app and all the edge cases I have solved over the years, it would be a prompt the size of a small book, and my app isn't even that complicated. The people promoting creating a business overnight with AI are just selling a get rich quick pipedream. Those grifters are present in every cycle. AI has completely transformed how I work, but you can't push a button and make money. Doesn't work like that.
