The Implicit assumption here is that AI in general is one of several possible tools to a given problem. This is true in some cases, but not in others (eg media synthesis, automated transcription/translation/classification, etc.). So I think "starting a business around AI" should imply that AI is a core necessity, not just a chosen tool. Granted, it may be just one tool among many that could be useful, even if it necessary.

Who would have thought of something like stable-fusion just 5 years ago? It generates images out of thin air.

There is a great deal of GAN literature on the order of 5 years old…

Even those of us following that literature were surprised by the sudden improvement in image synthesis.

Probably even more surprised. GANs never solved the diversity problem.
