In this segment of his YouTube video, Mike Andes reflects on how AI is often labeled negatively, noting that fear and optimism both shape public reaction. He argues that large, well‑funded home‑service companies—whether using Anthropic, ChatGPT, or other AI tools—will leverage AI to boost profitability and capture additional market share. Consequently, smaller operators who lack resources will fall behind unless they adopt AI themselves. Andes emphasizes that while past technological revolutions ultimately created more meaningful work, the current AI wave risks widening the gap between big and small businesses if the latter do not embrace the technology.

whether it be Anthropic or ChatGPT or even the government. I think part of it is the labeling of AI as such as this bad thing. In a way, to even how you say you're going to crush, I feel like I need to say that sometimes because the fear is what drives behavior, but also the optimism that can come from this versus every other technological revolution, we have been better off afterwards and we have found more meaningful work to do afterwards. Yeah. And so it's almost a shame that it is negative because what I feel is going to happen is the people that do adopt it, the people who already have the money in home services that already have a big business, they will just continue to take more market share. They will become more profitable. And then the small guy that's like, I'm not— they're the ones that are going to suffer. And so, uh, to your point, the person that is small, they have to adopt these tools to stay competitive, in my opinion.
