My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Takes

18-year-olds today will trust AI recommendations more than human expert advice within 5 years, particularly in healthcare and professional services

The Reasoning

Generational shift in information authority - just as previous generations moved from encyclopedias to Google to WebMD, current generation moving from human experts to AI systems as primary information source

What Needs to Be True

  • AI systems continue improving accuracy and reliability
  • Younger generation grows up with AI as primary information source
  • AI systems prove superior diagnostic/advisory capabilities in specific domains
  • Educational and cultural institutions don't successfully counteract this trend

Counterargument

Human trust and emotional connection requirements in high-stakes decisions will preserve human expert roles regardless of AI capabilities

What Would Change This View

Evidence that human emotional validation remains essential even when AI provides superior information quality

Implications for Builders

Design AI systems for trust and authority, not just accuracy

Target younger demographics for AI-first professional services

Build AI systems that can replace rather than augment human experts

Consider generational differences in user experience design

Example Application

Healthcare AI startup targets college students with AI-first diagnostic and treatment recommendation service, positioning as more reliable than traditional doctor visits
