This idea was the explicit business proposition of my college scholarship program. It included "summer internships" which turned out to be selling undergrads for $30 an hour while paying us $9 an hour.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many hours you hire someone who doesn't actually know what they are doing, even though they teach themselves new things sometimes, because writing a few hundred lines of TI-BASIC is not a foundation that you can build a "Turbotax for end of life care planning" service out of.

Unfortunately, I was charismatic and good at meetings and sounding smart and confident, so they loved my work even though I never delivered a single thing other than the barest of mockups.

I can't help but find terrible similarities in AI slop.
