This assumes that writing standalone apps (what is now implied by “realizing an idea” in the AI hype-o-sphere) still has defensible value
I agree with you in theory, but wealth goes hand in hand with relationships. If you can use your skills to make something great with AI in a short amount of time, someone else probably do it too. If they have better connections than you do, they win. Relationships get you farther than raw skill.
