There's a persistent question in my circles: "what does it mean to be AI-native".
Your analogy here is apt because AI-native teams are the ones that are doing the impossible. I know 4 non-technical solo-founders (all had previously courted me pre-AI coding to be a technical co-founder) that are effectively shipping real products with no engineering team. One has 4 large universities signed.
These guys are all-in on AI because they could not exist without it; by necessity every leg of what they do is AI.
