Is this path right for me?

Jun 1 (edited) • 💡 Help

I'm a little hesitant posting this, but you guys seem super smart, so who better to ask than this community?

I've run this through ChatGPT first but don't know if I can trust its answers...I would like to hear feedback from people with industry experience.

Other than making some Adobe illustrator scripts for my business (with ChatGPT as my coder), I otherwise have zero coding experience. I know basic algebra, but am not familiar with Calculus, Data Science, ML, Statistics, Software Engineering, ...

I believe that AI is the future, and love the idea of automating tasks for small businesses to help them become more efficient - saving time and money. I would start solo, and eventually build a small team in the future.

From what I've learned on the web, no-code/ low-code tools currently produce MVP's but not reliable, scalable solutions.

I'm definitely not the brightest bulb in the box (note that I am willing to learn Python, etc...) but becoming a Software Engineer or Data Scientist seems unrealistic for me.

Is this path right for me? What are some potential options to explore?

Thanks so much for your honest feedback!
