Your Ai-skills vs Your Niche.
AI is everywhere. But not everything that says āAIā is smart. Hereās what really happened after ChatGPT dropped and how some folks are just cashing in on the word. 1. When Did the Hype Start? - The AI conversation existed for decades, but it went mainstream in late 2022, when ChatGPT (by OpenAI) launched publicly. - Suddenly, non-tech people ā marketers, solopreneurs, students, small business owners ā were using AI, not just reading about it. - This was a turning point: AI was no longer an abstract idea; it became a tool you could play with. šWhen ChatGPT launched, AI went from āfuture techā to āeveryday use caseā overnight. 2. Why the Word āAIā Got So Popular - Before 2022, AI was seen as something used by Google, Tesla, or academics. - Post-ChatGPT, AI became a marketing buzzword. - People began slapping āAIā on every product ā from writing tools to CRMs to course titles - to appear futuristic and credible. - Startups started raising funding just by saying theyāre āAI-powered. š” Saying āAIā is now like saying āgluten-freeā or āorganicā -even if itās barely true, it sells. 3. How Small Companies & YouTube Gurus Exploit the Hype š¤ āAIā as a Sales Weapon: - Many creators, coaches, and SaaS founders use āAIā just to inflate perceived value. Example: A basic Notion template becomes: ā”ļøAI-Powered Client Management System. A PDF becomes: āThe AI Funnel Masterclass. š§ False Authority: - People with no background in AI suddenly position themselves as AI experts. they sell : - āAI agency launch kitsā - āHow to make $10k/month with ChatGPTā - āAI Side Hustle Systemsā š§Ø These aren't selling AI, theyāre selling dreams powered by a buzzword. ā
Real Talk, Real Value: - AI isnāt magic. Itās a tool. It helps speed up good work, not replace deep thinking. - Donāt get sold on āplug-and-playā AI courses or products promising quick money. - Always ask: āWhatās the real value behind this product and would I still want it without the word AI?ā
