If AI can write better code and design better architecture, why can’t it make better product decisions? I don’t see how they are fundamentally different

LLMs are disembodied-the products are ultimately by and for bodies on different ends of a transaction. The loop between llm and body is primitive today. Therefore products need someone who can speak in body and translate for AI.

Also, where are the AI-operated startups?? Why has nobody’s openclaw biz gone multinational by now?

Products that people use require the developer to imagine they are the person using this. Those of us who develop user interfaces whether visual dashboards or automations driven by voice agents call it "empathy for the user."

AI is not capable of empathy.

AI is not capable of having good taste.

AI is good at code but bad at writing. So what makes you think that its skill with code would generalize to product decisions?
