Finfluencer vs AI tech Bro

 Last week, after building the REIT InvIT planner, I did share it few of my friends. Well actually, all of my friends. 

One of my friend responded saying, Nice, you have become a Finfluencer.

For a minute wasn't sure, should i be offended or feel proud. 

The whole point of it was to showcase how AI makes life easier, how it is easy to build something super fast and super easy and rather than be called as AI tech bro, me getting labeled as finfluencer was little upsetting.

Then it hit me! It was indeed a compliment

One of my mentor used to say something like this: True tech should be like magic, One should never know the intricacies and they should see and appreciate the output. (probably he was channeling his inner Steve Jobs ;))

Though the application was built using AI and leverages a lot of AI, the tech was invisible. In fact only one person asked me, "Oh you have built it, what stack you are using and how and where you are getting the data"

With the rest of the others, the conversation was about to what are these assets, how to invest, to invest or not, how much to invest and so on.

Looking back, in a way mission accomplished!
