Shorter Scott Adams:
Business idea: beat Google at its own game.
It's just not going to happen. My approach would be to start with the expensive ad-hoc shopping services that already work for rich people and figure out how to standardize, commoditize and mass market them.
Any idea that has an element of "replace humans with ai" to it is ultimately in direct competition with Google. Which means both that your service will not be more useful than Google and that they will crush you whenever they want to.
The path to value, for everyone other than Google and Amazon, is to not replace humans but instead make them more powerful.
- tomjen2 17y agoThis isn't beating Google at its own game (which wouldn't be that hard, and lucrative since you could sell to either Bing or Google) - this is destroying ads, sucking the air out of Google. With such a system, nobody is going to want to look at ads because people will come to you when they need to buy stuff and will go elsewhere they want to play a game or watch a movie. Google can't crush you on this, if customers prefer this model (and they will) - they can only attempt to buy you out which isn't so bad.
