I completely get where you're coming from. There’s a ton of noise in the space right now, and the hype is very real. I think that's mostly because the AI wave reached a broader, non-technical audience pretty quickly. That visibility has created a lot of excitement.

However, this AI wave does feel a bit different. What stands out is the speed of progress in multiple directions. We’ve seen new model architectures, prompting techniques, and agent frameworks. And every time one of those advances, it opens up new possibilities that startups are quick to explore.

I’m with you that chasing every shiny thing isn’t practical or even useful most of the time. But as someone curious about the space, I still find it exciting.
