AI Gold Rush

The so-called “AI Gold Rush” promises easy money, quick results and zero effort. But the real business is not in applying artificial intelligence, but in selling the illusion that anyone can get rich with a click. In this scenario, many are not miners: they are the mine.

This after being bombarded by advertising from supposed gurus who promise quick results and zero effort and who promise that anyone can get rich with one click, so I put them to the test, I entered one of those classes they offer and that is where I realize the reality, they make mistakes, they do not give results, they do not give value, they only promise quick results and zero effort and they even introduce religion so that they believe that they are the true gurus.

What really is the “AI Gold Rush”?

It is a phenomenon driven by supposed gurus who present AI as a shortcut to financial freedom, and they are not wrong, but they promise quick results using automatic tools, they play with the promise of people and if they teach people things, if they have methodologies and these can work, but the problem lies in promising quick results and zero effort, that is, they promise that anyone can get rich with a click.

These gurus promise quick income using automated tools, sell the idea that knowledge no longer matters, and hide that the real deal is the course, not the method.

Why are you not the miner, but the mine?

In this fever, the exploited resource is the attention and money of those who buy. Sellers do not earn by applying the systems, but rather by selling the promise that they work, while the buyer finances the cycle with his expectation.

What’s wrong with Apply AI’s “copy and paste” models?

When the barrier to entry is zero, value disappears and saturation is inevitable and we see it, today, even YouTube has stopped monetizing AI videos, because saturation is inevitable.

The result is book creation in minutes, automated channels without judgment, and deals with no real knowledge behind them, which inevitably leads to saturation and plummeting returns.

How does the cycle of false gurus work?

The pattern repeats itself precisely: they exaggerate initial results, blame the buyer when they fail, reinvest sales in more advertising, and use religion to make them believe they are the real gurus.

Thus, the illusion remains alive even if the model does not work or we assume it works, but we return to the central theme, it is not that the method is good or bad, it is the promise of quick results and zero effort.

Is artificial intelligence useless or a scam?

No. AI is powerful, but it is not magical and requires real knowledge to work, not just a prompt, a custom GPT from ChatGPT using a mediocre prompt, and I say this because accessing the resources they shared, the prompt was leaked and they actually sell this as the magic solution.

It is important to understand that AI does not create value from scratch, it does not replace real knowledge, and it does not turn nothing into something valuable.

What is the key decision in the face of this fever?

The key decision in the face of this fever is to understand the game before paying the price. This means not chasing unrealistic shortcuts, not buying instant financial freedom, and not becoming the exploited resource.

Be smart: don’t be anyone’s mine.
