With all these companies pivoting to the creation of AI products, this seems like a great opportunity for someone to step in and create ... Checks notes ... absolutely anything else.
I can't wait to watch these companies all get their marketshare eaten by "ToddCo", a company where a guy named Todd figures out that be can poach Starbucks employees and get better results than these AI deliver.
