What does it matter? My startup is simply a vehicle to move money from your pension fund's investment account into my personal account.

It doesn't matter whether the idea is viable, it only matters if you can attract VC investment. And while viable ideas attract VC investment, there are plenty of stupid ideas that get more than their fair share of dosh these days.

A viable business idea has the downside that it will be obvious it's viable to many different teams and thus attract competition.

A better standard is "plausible, but not necessarily viable." This will scare away the competition yet retain the early investors.

So the question you should be asking is "how PLAUSIBLE is your ML/LLM idea?"
