If your mum is your full time employee id send her burger flipping and keep the pay.

That isn’t what ironic means

No I don’t think you should get into a random business you know nothing about. Start with something you’re interested in and work backwards to the money.

It sounds like a fantasy. You were trying to make a tech product, the AI element of which you didn’t even know if was possible, without any tech knowledge or serious plan of how to make it work. Although you were unfortunate I think you would have ended up here anyway. Maybe these events just saved you some time.

Sorry to hear about your experience though and I hope you bounce back strong and create something great in the future.
