There is no such thing as an AI Startup, only a customer startup. To the extent that AI makes a new company better able to serve a customer, they will thrive. If they fail to draw a productive connection between AI and unmet customer needs, they will fail. It doesn't matter if you get funded, this is a universal truth.

VC throwing tones of money because people are making 'AI' startups. That's the point.

Right. I think there's the investor narrative, and then the actual value function offered to customers. Regardless of the former, very few would be an AI startup by the definition of the latter.
