What are the smartest things to build with AI right now in case it eventually goes away?

A developer community discussion explores the smartest things to build with AI if all systems were to be permanently shut down within 24 to 48 hours. The conversation focuses on immediate builds to prepare for a future without AI, considering options like generating massive datasets, distilling models into local, non-AI code, or automating current workloads. The goal is to identify projects that improve lives, incomes, happiness, and skills before AI becomes unavailable.

This discussion uniquely frames AI utility by considering its value if it were to disappear, unlike typical conversations that focus on its continuous advancement.
