But I thought armies of teenagers were starting tech businesses?!

My boss is literally convinced we can now basically make programs that take rockets to mars, and that it's literally clicks away. For the life of me, it is impossible to convince him that this is, in fact, not the case. Whoever fired developers because 'AI could do it' is going to regret it.

Maybe try convincing him in terms he would understand. If it was really that good, it wouldn't be public. They'd just use it internally to replace every proprietary piece of software in existence. They'd be shitting out their own browser, office suite, CAD, OS, etc. Microsoft would be screwing themselves by making chatgpt public. Microsoft could replace all the Adobe products and drive them out of business tomorrow.

Yea, it's that lack of critical thinking that is the reason why MLMs, and get rich quick courses still exist
