It sounds like this is along the lines of Firecrawl is trying to do? Or what Plaid has done for banking?

> I think, the net benefit would be in the billions.

I think, you must forgive people if they are somewhat hostile, if not sick and tired of these claims. It’s quite frustrating seeing individuals constantly saying things like this. Meanwhile I don’t think a lot of people are seeing the structural shifts that these claims imply. This is not an original idea. The disruption claim has been made for the past several years in various fields and the goalposts keep getting moved. AI will absolutely change and render some jobs moot even in its current state if Claude/GPT are able to make a profitable business model. If it turns out that Claude is really being subsidized by investors and it turns out that $200/month subscription is really a $5,000/month when Claude has to stand on its on, I’m not sure what’s going to happen.

It’s clear you’ve gotten some good, if expensive use out of AI, but I’m not sure that experience scales or if it will exist in 5 years.
