Hype is like catnip for them. They've been around for a while, many of the OG AI YouTubers didn't know anything about it when they started to pretend to educate.
I mean, the grifters have started it. They grifted for way too much money without ANY plan on how to actually get money back to the investors. Including the dubious benefits, just promising a "quick fix".
That is a bit over the top, but the core statement kind of stands.
I'm the writer of the blog post. I don't sell ai courses, consulting, coaching, or anything like that. But I do use claude code to help me build my SaaS app as a bootstrapped solopreneur. I also sold an AI startup in early 2021, which I founded back in 2014 when the hyped term was "Big Data". I've been around a few hype cycles now..
