took me a week to build a poker bot in 2006 that earned me $1000 a week during college, and that was self imposed because I didn't want to raise any flags.

It was based on a world of warcraft bot that I modified, and I learned a lot during the process.

What you call wasted mechanical work I call the foundations of a career that changed my life.

Take away the AI and this guy has nothing but an idea. An old idea that has already been done to death, and none of the skills required to actually implement it and maintain it.

You might not like writing code, but that is the job no matter how many natural language layers you put on top of it.
