Most AI courses teach you to build chatbots, not to run a business
iamKierraD · x · 2026-09-05
The author argues that most AI money-making courses only teach people to build a chatbot or agent to sell, while skipping what actually matters for running a business: marketing, sales, pricing, competitive analysis, market research, and brand positioning.
Her takeaway: knowing how to "build something" doesn't automatically translate into making money — and that gap is the catch behind most of these course pitches.
