I think the author is attacking a bit of a strawman. Yes, people won't pay human prices for AI services. But the opportunity is in democratization - becoming the dominant platform - and bundling - taking over more and more of the lifecycle. Your customers individually spend less, but you get more customers, and each customer spends a little extra for better results. To respond to the analogy: not everyone had $100,000 to build their SaaS before. Now everyone who has a $100 budget can buy Lovable, Replit and Claude subbscriptions. You only need 1,000 customers to match what you made before. |
