A Reddit post reflects that despite AI's rise, most people still haven't built anything remarkable with it. Before AI, everyone had a "million-dollar idea" blocked only by coding skill and time — AI removed that excuse.
The author concludes that creativity is now the most valuable skill: ideas and taste are the bottleneck, not execution. The thread sparked debate on which capabilities matter most in the AI era.
