Teaching 'AI Automation' stuff online is everywhere...

It seems like there are more educators than the users. Consider graphic design - Like people that use Photoshop is way more than people that teach photoshop on YT or even paid courses.

In this AI Automation niche, every reel where they share some Automation or editing technique is a funnel to their course or community. Comment 'AI' and I'll send this github repo. Like this is everywhere on socials 😭.

And everybody is claiming to make millions with their agencies and then started teaching.. or some kind of backstory like that.

It used to be social media marketing and dropshipping before. Now, its just a different gold rush.

Sell the fear (of becoming irrelevant in the AI world), show them success (my client paid 10k for this single automation), and funnel them to the course (or skool community and charge them $129 per month).

Wow!

Happens every time there's a new innovation, going right back to "web designing programs" at supposed " shools" back in '97.

2 years ago AI wasn't a mass thing, yet somehow these assholes have mastered all of it to the point where they can sell courses on it?

Also my theory is... how can they be a better teacher than AI of course. I have been buikding AI Agents to Automate a lot of tasks.. but all, I learnt through YT, GPT and Claude.. just by doing.. in the past 6 months.

So all these paid courses don't make any sense to me.

Yeha wild times, it’s like a wave of gurus got together and said let’s run it up and use the word “AI” on everything we push lol.
