Of course Solopreneurs were a thing long before AI. It just takes special people. I think the assumption of this article is that there may be a larger array of people capable of running their own business with the aid of AI. I'm similarly leery of this for the same reasons covered in the post. Solopreneurs were generally technical people who had been forced to learn the business side after playing a senior role, generally a CTO or CEO, of a previous startup. They are "full stack" founders, who have deep understanding of the entire business stack, both on the business and technical side. These special people will likely be supercharged by AI, which they can intelligently direct to offload much of the grunt work, both on the technical side, and on the business side, especially for marketing.by danjl

I agree, but I think we are talking about slightly different things. I am not skeptical of solopreneurs at all (I have been one myself). The post is more about the current idea that large companies can keep replacing entire teams with AI until eventually there is barely anyone left.by meerita
