Multipliers don't close the gap between levels. They widen it.

If you don’t really know what you’re doing, you can have AI build things for you that you couldn’t otherwise do yourself.

And that can feel like an equalizer.

Like you’re suddenly at the same level as the pros.

But it’s not an equalizer.

It’s a multiplier.

When you have a high level of mastery, these tools scale your expertise.

When you don’t… well, it does level you up, but not nearly as much as it levels up people who actually know what they’re doing.

The distance between you and them actually increases.

It takes you from a 1 to 10, it takes them from 10 to 100. The distance goes from 9 to 90.

Because multipliers don’t just multiply your level, they also multiply the distance between levels.
