9 Business Ideas To Profit From The 2022 A.I. Gold Rush (Using Dall-E & GPT3) (#376)

They react strongly to a demo where an AI-generated Joe Rogan interviews an AI-generated Steve Jobs, noting how convincing the voices, banter, and “podcast structure” feel. They also point out unnerving implications, including how such tools could recreate deceased loved ones in ways that feel real but aren’t.

Shaan frames the last decade as “left brain AI” (analytical tasks like chess, Go, and self-driving decisions) and the new wave as “right brain AI” (creative output like text, art, audio, and video). He argues this shift is the major inflection point because it pulls artists and mainstream creators into AI alongside traditional technical users.

They discuss Runway ML’s video-editing/generation demos (removing objects, changing backgrounds, adding rain, green-screening) and note that even if demos overpromise, the trajectory is obvious. Sam compares it to early Tesla moments where shortcomings existed, but the future direction was unmistakable.

Shaan describes Jasper as “Google Docs with an assistant” that can generate sales emails, ads, and rewrites from prompts and examples, and he says he’s using it for course and business workflows (e.g., generating many newsletter openers). They also discuss defensibility concerns: many products may share similar underlying language-model engines, so value shifts to workflow, UI, and applied utility.

Shaan highlights AI-driven product photography concepts (Dreambooth-like examples, Osmosis) that could replace expensive, slow photo shoots by generating “studio-like” assets from rough inputs. He frames this as a classic business unlock when something becomes dramatically faster, cheaper, and better than the incumbent process.
