X user eptwts (141k followers) lists the online business models he thinks are most AI-proof: marketplaces, dating apps, casinos, communities, telehealth, and payments — businesses whose moats lie in trust, network effects, and money flow rather than content production. Honorable mention: personal brands — not technically a business model, but owning attention is a launchpad for any business, whether your own or others paying you to promote theirs.
