Would people still use it if the "AI" label disappeared?

Any product built around a technology rather than a real problem burns out fast. Three questions to ask before you build.

Don’t get blinded by “AI products.”

Any product built around a technology rather than a real problem will burn out fast. The real winners are solutions that put people at the center — serving human needs, not hype.

What’s alarming is how much product illiteracy exists among those with the deepest pockets. That’s why we’re seeing billions poured into tools nobody truly needs, while real human challenges go underfunded.

If you want to build something that lasts, stop chasing buzzwords. Start asking:

  • Whose problem am I solving?
  • How does this make life better, fairer, or more meaningful?
  • Would people still use it if the “AI” label disappeared?

Technology is just an enabler. Humanity is the purpose.
