It is similar to crypto in that it’s relentlessly hyped by VCs and the product quality does not match the hype or funding.

The article is literally about the fundraising so the comments about the fundraising are more on topic than your pointless dismissal of them.

Counter argument: Every crypto coin is, more or less, the same. Sure there's some underlying difference in how they work (proof of stake vs proof of work) but they don't do anything wildly different.

AI companies, on the other hand, ARE fairly different in the products they're offering. So while it can make sense to talk about the crypto world as a whole when on a thread about an individual coin, that makes less sense when discussing individual AI companies IMO.
