Pushing back on the 'AI did it' narrative, the author argues that when an AI-generated video goes viral, the genius is the creator who knows how to tell a story; when an AI-built product takes off, credit belongs to the founders who knew what to build.
His core claim: AI is an amazing technology, but no amount of it can turn a bad idea into a good one — human judgment remains the deciding factor.
