Customers and competitors have equal access, yet equal tools do not produce equal outcomes. The internet era already proved this. Four attributes matter: Agency: taking action, because AI responds to direction but cannot originate effort. Taste: knowing when something is good, because without a quality standard AI outputs settle at acceptable. Grit: staying with iterative refinement through the prompt-evaluate-adjust loop where real work happens. Curiosity: probing beyond surface level, because people who test variations get more from AI. AI will dramatically improve the top 1 percent while the distance to everyone else grows. A security expert vibe-coded a compliance tool and sold it for USD 20k. Ngozi Dozie built with a USD 20 Claude subscription.
