Simple AI systems make more money than complex ones. The speaker learned from their mentor James that the real profit is in translating complex solutions into simple ones, not in building complexity. That gap between complex and simple is where the big money lives.
you may as well skip AI altogether and just go build simple systems. You'll get paid more and it's less stress and it's less work. You are overqualified if you're building complex systems because you could just build simple systems instead. But what I've been obsessed with in the last year, and I've learned a lot about this from my mentor James, is bridging the gap from taking a complex system and making it something simple, and that's where all the money is. If I can truly crack the code on this, then it's big boy money.
