Inspiring people to build new things when critics say it will fail

The original post

When I started working in startups I realized something. People are wrong all the time. Including very smart people. This guy looked at ChatGPT on launch day and called it OpenAI's worst product concept. Whenever you're building something new, you'll find people who can explain exactly why it won't work. Build it anyway. The future has a habit of embarrassing predictions.
