It can be an equalizer provided its neatly tucked away underneath a more performative layer. Coding is a great example. The majority of webapps are so mediocre that AI has no problems replicating their mediocrity. Most webapps are also barely more than glorified CRUD apps - something a cutting edge AI can string together with brute force prompting. Slap a professional looking veneer on top and no one would know you’re running spaghetti code underneath. Where AI is visible - marketing imagery, written content, ad copy - I feel it has the opposite effect of being an “equalizer”. Its mediocrity stands out like a sore thumb and makes you, the small business owner, appear a tasteless connoisseur of slop.
