Is AI making founders worse at building?
Feels like every week I see a new “AI-built startup.”
It’s wild how fast people can spin up landing pages, copy, and outreach now.
But I keep wondering if AI is doing all the building, are we losing the part that teaches us how to build well?
In my own project, I use AI to automate parts of lead research and personalization, but I still have to think through why the message works.
The AI doesn’t replace that, it just makes it faster.
Feels like founders who treat AI as a co-pilot are learning more, but those who treat it as an autopilot are learning less.
What do you think?
Is AI making us sharper or dulling the edge?

I definitely agree, but AI is lowering the boundary to getting started with such stuff. People with creative ideas now have a way to build things they once wouldn't have been able to!
