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