The surprising thing about this is that 65% of the startups are not AI-focused.

I can’t be the only one exhausted by the discourse - it is an exciting technology but there are still other things to explore. This gives me some hope!

Is there an equivalent post for crypto a few years back?

VC are incentivising building an “AI” business right now with easier access to funding. Wouldn’t be surprised if half these companies would drop the AI moniker otherwise.

I'm curious how many of these are just recycling open ai.

Just 30 years after the great AI Winter, the AI Boom
