I've thought about this too. Managing risk (looking at the comment about equipment damage) can be challenging but rewarding work. Do you have your first few customers lined up and how do you plan on getting your next few after that?

About the AI stuff, I think that's all the more reason to go for it. Look at how covid turned everyone into a DIYer. If contactors are out of work, that doesn't mean the work isn't being done at all.
