I’m curious when AI will be directly responsible for reducing the cost of anything.
Not “if you use it it can make you more money” but “real, normal people are seeing a benefit, not from using AI but from something it was able to accomplish that made normal people’s lives better.”
- fragmede 2mo agoMaking websites is now much easier. I don't know how many normal people in your life need websites, but small business owners I know are able to use Claude to build their website for much cheaper than it used to be. Instead of paying Squarespace/Wix/WordPress anything per month, they can just pay Claude $20 for a month and build a site, have Cloudflare host it via pages for free, and save money.
- bigbadfeline 2mo agoThat's not how web sites work, most everybody is still paying for content hosting, it's much simpler, with or without AI. > Instead of paying ...WordPress. WordPress has been free to download and install long before AI, indie developers would customize one for you for next to nothing. Building small web sites has never been expensive, most small businesses had sites before AI, mostly static, just to show their contact phone numbers, that ain't changing. If all AI can do is small web sites for the couple/three plumbers who still don't have one, we're wasting trillions.
