AI Won’t Build Your Dream Startup – Stop Being Cheap and Get Real

You know what? I’ve had enough. I want to share my professional experience with the unrealistic expectations surrounding the use of AI. It seems that some founders genuinely believe that AI can do everything for them—from writing code to building a thriving business.

Obviously, AI won’t build relationships for you, won’t start a family, and won’t have a child. So why do people believe that a bot can somehow create a successful business for them? If you want real results, you’ll need to put in the hard work yourself. AI can speed things up, but it will never replace your brain, charisma, or persistence. Building a business is not just about code and algorithms—it’s about vision, connections, and relentless effort.

So, if you think AI will handle everything for you, get ready for some bitter disappointment.

Look, AI isn’t your magic wand. We keep hearing from founders saying, “Here’s $1,000—build me Facebook. Use AI, make it cheaper.” That’s not how it works, and it’s time to set things straight.

5 Key Arguments for Cautious Use of AI in Software Development

1. AI Can’t Replace Real Expertise

AI might code, but it doesn’t think. Without a solid plan and experienced developers, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

2. Garbage In, Garbage Out

AI gives you generic solutions. If you don’t know what you’re doing, AI won’t magically fill the gaps. Expect bugs, bad design, and sloppy code.

3. You Can’t Automate Relationships or Hustle

AI won't pitch investors, manage clients, or motivate a team. Running a business isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about real people doing real work.

4. Cheap AI = Expensive Problems Later

Trying to save money with AI? Guess what: fixing AI-generated messes later will cost you more. There’s no bargain bin for quality software.

5. You Won’t Learn How to Build Anything

If you think AI can handle it all, you’ll never learn how to build a real product. AI is just a tool—it won’t carry your startup to success.

Conclusion

If you’re truly serious about building a multimillion-dollar project and are ready to invest 3, 5, or even 10 years of your life to achieve massive success, then I’m open to taking on your project and exploring potential collaboration. But let’s be clear—there’s no magic pill. It takes hard work and productivity to make it happen.
