Charlie Munger once said: “If you mix raisins with turds, they’re still turds.” Meaning, you can’t make a bad investment better by mixing it with a better one.
Now days, when everything seems to be about artificial intelligence (AI), I think this statement might make sense:
“If you mix AI with shit, it is still shit.”
Ok, so it is not the same. AI is not the raisins, it might actually be just more shit. Shit mixed into shit. Point is: AI won’t fix everything it touches, regardless of how much Microsoft tries to push Copilot into everything from Excel to Notepad.
If your product sucks, fix it. Don’t think AI will magically make it better.
