I really like that you bring this topic up, thanks for sharing your view on it!
My points after reading:
- You need to talk not to people who are ready to talk to you like your friends, but with people that have the problem you're researching (key point of The Mom Test book 📕 that really works)
- All the examples are mainly show great execution not an idea itself. And the same with PostHog - why in ideas list yet another analytics tool is more cool than idea of a yet another 1:1 tool for managers with predictive analytics?
- ElevenLabs example problem statement looks tricky - this is how many of us fail due checking only our feelings (didn't like monotonous dubbing) not the clients perspective on it - do people go less in cinemas in Poland due to this? Will they go more if dubbing will be fixed? Are they ready to pay more for better dubbed movies? Will they pay in real life for super-nice dubbing? I don't think so, looks that it is not a problem at all in the sense of this article.
Yeah, it seems like ability to execute is tied to validation and we probably missed talking about this in more detail here. The ElevenLabs example is proof of this: lots of people have had this problem, but few of them were in the very top of the field of AI.
