Will Blacklock's profile on Product Hunt

About

I'm a lifelong cinephile and bookworm; the kind of person who'll corner you to explain why Christopher Nolan's a genius and will constantly pester anyone and everyone to see what they've been reading lately. I've got a physics background and no formal dev experience, but a couple of years ago I got frustrated enough with existing tracking apps (Goodreads, Letterboxd, etc.) that I decided to learn some web dev and build my own. That accidental side project is now something I use every single day. Always happy to talk about books, films, TV, or the joys (and pains) of learning on the job when it comes to software development.

What's the one product/niche you don't want AI to touch?

We talk a lot here about AI unlocking new products and speeding everything up, but I'm curious where the community sees it going the other way... where "AI-powered" is actually a turn-off for users, or where a human touch is the actual selling point.

One example I keep thinking about: curated recommendations. Best movies, books, restaurants, coffee shops. There's so much AI-generated recommendation content out there now that a human-picked list (with a name and a point of view behind it) has become the signal in the noise. People trust "here are my 10 favourite films" from a person way more than an algorithm's guess at what they'll like.

Is there still room on PH for human-first products?

Hey guys, Will here

I'm gearing up for my first PH launch on 1st August and genuinely curious whether the community still has love for solo indie developers building non-AI products.
