I’m not an AI software engineer and I could have told you that - not only is it true for all startups of any kind, but given the insane level of hype around AI, it’s obvious

    AI is the new crypto. Idiots will be fleeced. Schemes will be hatched. Vaporware will vape.

    In 2-5 years there will likely be some Intel- or Google-like companies with big controlling stakes in AI. Investing in the them then will likely be a good idea. Trying to figure out now which of the 61,000 AI startups will become them, and hoping to win the lottery in the process, is a fool's game.

    Also a non-zero chance that AI itself is all vaporware and the "industry" fizzles out completely.
