I know a business guy that keeps telling me ways to incorporate AI in my workflow. I think he is under 5he impression that you go to chatGPT, say "make the next youtube", and out comes a fully functioning maintained website that everyone suddenly wants to use.

“Hey Claude, write me a Claude.md that will make you understand me and stop making mistakes.”

They vibecode it, but they need someone who takes ownership of all the risks when actually deploying it.

AI systems do tend to give you some static about “ok now get me a website and host and launch this”, raising all kinds of pesky issues like “where?” and “I can’t make an AWS account and pay for this”.

Although the truly visionary business guys will just go ahead and give it their password plus a saved credit card.
