This describes pretty much every AI startup I know, both good and bad.

I suspect the places where AI will really succeed will be places that entirely change existing workflows and user experiences. This requires a fair bit of research and experimentation, but most startups don't have the appetite for that, and VCs are putting on the pressure to do AI stuff fast.

A lot of AI potential is being squandered now due to a simple lack of patience and planning in the rush to market.
