Why Almost Everyone Selling AI Is Going to Fail (And How Your Business Can Avoid the Trap)
Jun 26, 2025
AI is the gold rush of our time.
Whenever something explodes like this, everyone scrambles to cash in. Startups. Freelancers. Agencies.
Even the guy who just pivoted his “growth hacking” consultancy into an “AI consultancy” overnight.
But here’s the hard truth:
Most of them are going to fail. Badly.
Just like 99% of the folks who rushed west during the California Gold Rush.
(Interesting side note: One of the few people who actually got rich? The journalist who broke the story… then bought up all the mining equipment in San Francisco before the first wave of miners even arrived. Smart guy.)
Why Most AI Sellers Are Doomed:
Right now, the market is flooded with:
The Feature Cloners
People slapping ChatGPT behind a flashy UI and calling it a SaaS company.They’ll get wiped out the moment OpenAI or Anthropic rolls out the same feature—better and for free.
The AI Copy Mills
Agencies churning out thousands of words of generic AI content per day… Devaluing their own work and turning once-premium services into a race-to-the-bottom commodity.
The $97 SaaS Dreamers
Chasing quick MRR… ignoring the brutal math of churn, customer acquisition cost, and scale. It’s a subscription treadmill with no off switch.
The Real Problem?
Everyone’s selling “AI”… But hardly anyone is solving real business problems. AI isn’t magic. It’s just a tool. And like every tool, it’s only valuable in the hands of someone who knows where to dig.
