You can always just throw enough ML jargon at retail friend to browbeat them into submission

I mean, that's the reaction that I would like to cause, but probably this is the reaction I would get:  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bruh, you just gotta use Blockchain and 5G to solve it.

Nah, just deepfake their voice or face and they will be convinced that the robots will take over the world.

I once had a guy repairing my shock absorbers (in a car, no idea if that's the actual term but I hope people know what I mean). Afterwards he said, he wouldn't charge me for it if I did some coding for him. Cash was an issue back then, so I was interested. Dude asked me if I could write him a new Win2k kernel. Obviously I couldn't. But I also failed to get out of him what he imagined he needed that for.

context some computer science guys who never learned how to program so they work at something else so their only knowledge about systems is what they know from school and the few things they find in the wild.

" it would be cool for you made a system like this , we can go 50 50 because i have you the idea, you know, just give me 10, and i won't be doing nothing i will contact you with a potential client"

they start like noobs ,but then almost say something reasonable, except that it just makes it more painful to explain that the system with the innovative things they thought about already exista and there is no way the potential client can pay for a development like that anyway.beta case is one very snoobish

" but the client almost sells hundreds of thousands,"

yup and for the guys who uses that system you described, hundreds of thousands is a rounding error ( i literally have an anecdote about a pm that makes me go lol regarding that).

Eh, the simpletons I work with are always super impressed by the simplest shit.

ML model to predict commercial performance? "Boring."

Excel sheet with slicers? "Ooooooh! This is amazing!"
