Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,
OK here’s the game plan.
This week I’m going to give my Big 5 Predictions for what’s going to shift the needle in AI entrepreneurship.
I’m not going to talk about the technical progress in AI because i) who knows! and ii) it’s not that important to us as entrepreneurs.
We know it gets better. That’s the biggie. So if we can’t do something with AI right now then … we probably will be able to in 6 months.
The details of the exact models aren’t as important as that fundamental truth. That’s noise.
Instead these predictions will be about how you are going to carve your space out in the world of AI entrepreneurship. Practical and relevant. Capiche?
Also: in each prediction I’ll be adding a survey form. Why? I want to know which of these topics most interests you.
Because I will then focus my videos, newsletter, courses and cohorts on those topics. You can basically guide me on what to cover this year. If a certain topic resonates with a lot of you I’ll build in that direction. And if one doesn’t click then…I won’t! Makes sense - I don’t want to write stuff you hate.
Here’s a form to tell me which you are interested in!
Tell me what to build for you!
Let’s get going!
The AI landscape in 2025 is going to look very different from today. But here's what nobody's talking about - as AI gets more powerful and prevalent, the human element becomes more valuable, not less.
This sounds counterintuitive.
And also like a mad place to start a whole set of predictions about the world of AI. Starting with a “hey don’t use it!”
But think about this for a moment. Loads of people are rushing into AI avatars, AI content automations, AI automated chats etc. etc.
They are removing the human element in exchange for scale.
Being about to make faceless videos for Youtube as an example. Extremely tempting proposition. You can generate 1000 videos without getting on camera! Easy money.
But..do you actually watch these sorts of videos? Do you want to?
Or take AI avatars like Aitana:
“She” is apparently making millions for her creators.
I call BS.
The only coverage about her is from, guess what, people shilling AI avatar making tools.
And if you actually go and look at her social accounts her followers are all obviously bots.
It’s smoke and mirrors.
Of course there will be valid uses of AI avatars and faceless videos but right now it’s a poor bet to make.
People are falling for the idea because it’s seductive. Automatic, easy, no need to show yourself.
We don’t work that way here at Prompt Entrepreneur.
If something is too easy guess what? No moat.
Too much supply (infinite) with no increase in demand = value falls to zero.
Just look at the AI comments on LinkedIn or a similar platform. People already know it’s trash and are pushing back.
That’ll only increase as these tools become more prevalent.
OK so what’s our plan?
We’re going to zag whilst everyone is zigging.
The AI entrepreneurs who'll thrive in 2025 won't be the ones with the fanciest AI implementations. They'll be the ones who:
It’s leaning in on the human side. It’s a counterpunch.
We use AI for the tasks that should be AI. To free up more time for the tasks that should be human. It’s a barbell bet - two extreme bets at 100% all in, ignoring the mediocre middle.
This means, gulp, getting good at human communication.
Honestly I feel there’s no better time. Before we get buried under a deluge of AI generated shovelware.
This means:
This is about to become an extremely high leverage skill.
Whilst everyone else is running for cover you’re going to stand up and walk out of that foxhole.
Scary? Yup! But that’s what will make this so powerful. The more other people can hide behind their screens and AIs the stronger the spotlight on you will be.
My initial thoughts are this:
Interested?
Resist the Blockbuster
PS. If you’ve got this far we’re exploring launching a 30 Day AI Entrepreneurship Accelerator where we:
1. Hone a business idea
2. Build a focused AI tool
3. Test and refine the tool
4. Market and launch
Course, community and live sessions.
