Pretty much every startup today is thinking about how to use generative AI. Is that what you want your side hustle to be about?

Yes I am looking for that

Personally I would like to see instances of where gen ai is actually useful.

An example: rewrite this java code in clojure/scala with lenses. (already done, don't bother...)

The thing is that OpenAI is a kind of evil where if they see any kind of potential in that product and generative AI is used then they will create the same thing. And if that product is using ChatGPT then it's gone. I am not only saying about ChatGPT it's also google Microsoft and all the big companies.

Ive said this in the other thread but come up with a problem first. You are putting the horse before the carriage or whatever. Come up wirh the privlem first. You cant worry about a gazillion thjngs at once

Your are absolutely correct but what are the problems I am trying my best to search problems but when I think about my problems I don't get any thing and when I ask my close onces they just don't know what problems they are having which can solve by a app or web app or desktop app. Now let me ask you directly what problems are you facing?

This is kinda meta but one problem i have is finding people in an industry to interview about their problems. you can of course spray and pray linkedin messages and hope someone is willijg to give you their time. Or ask your friends. But none of them are likely to be fruitful or it will take a long time.

What would help would be a network that will offer me 1 hour calls with profiessionals in an industry in exchange for $xxx

What problems are you facing?

Clearly, you are facing a problem finding problems to solve.
