Imagine a future where every great idea is instantly copied by a legion of AI-powered imitators. This isn't science fiction; it's the world we're hurtling towards thanks to the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI).

In this video by Alex Kruglov, co-founder and CEO of pop.in, we explore how AI is revolutionizing industries and creating a wave of "elevated mediocrity."

The Alarming Rise of AI Competence

Just a decade ago, AI struggled with even basic tasks. But today's AI is rapidly surpassing human performance in many areas. The AI Index Report from Stanford University shows a stunning leap in AI capabilities.

Take AI-generated art, for example. In 2022, these images were clunky and unimpressive. Today, they're detailed and often surpass the work of human illustrators. This incredible progress, achieved in a shockingly short time, is resetting the baseline for what's considered good art.

The Coming Wave of "Look-Alike" Businesses

This rapid advancement has a major downside: the rise of "look-alike" businesses. Major players are investing billions in AI, not just to improve their own products, but to transform their competitors' entire business models into mere features of their own.

Enter the Age of AI Agents

The future gets even more interesting with the development of AI Agents. These powerful AI systems can manage not just individual tasks, but also orchestrate complex workflows. Imagine instructing an AI to "go make $1 million on Amazon in a few months with just a $100,000 investment." As Mustafa Suleyman suggests in his book "The Coming Wave," AI Agents could soon make this a reality.

What does this mean for the future?

The traditional venture capital model may struggle to keep up. Constant self-disruption will likely become the norm, and the lines between groundbreaking innovation and basic functionality will blur.

This is a brave new world, and the question remains: how will we navigate it?
