I mean - is there a developer alive that'd be unable to write the nascent version of Twitter? I think that Twitter as a business exists entirely because of the concept - the code to cover the core functionality is absolutely trivial to replicate.
I don't think this is a very helpful statement because actually finding the idea on what to build is the hard part - or even just believing it's possible. The company I work at has been using NLP for years now and we have a model that's great at what we do... but if you asked if we could develop that into a chatbot as functional as chatgpt two years ago you'd probably be met with some pretty heavy skepticism.
Cloning something that has been proven possible is always easier than taking the risk building the first version with no real grasp of feasibility.
