I've seen most management CEO's under threat from AI post some form of comment like this one from $WIX. The format is essentially this: 1) AI can do this one thing that most people *think* is our core business 2) but it *can't* do these other things that actually are critical to the business. The second condition varies wildly in how hard it actually is for AI to do (or any competitor). In Wix's case they mention getting a website hosted, search engine optimization, and "running" a store front. Forget AI, there are already a ton of competitors that do these all. The website builder space has always been pretty competitive and that is because figuring out how to do these things weren't that hard. Am I wrong? "AI has made building online simple and anyone can generate a simple good-looking website in minutes. But that's as far as it goes. The real complexity begins the moment you hit published. How does it drive engagement? How do you host it, get found on search engines, run your storefront, secure your customers' data and actually operate the business day to day? These are the hard problems, and we've been solving them for 20 years through continuous product innovation and user feedback."
