A related dynamic: even getting attention requires increasingly fantastical and absurd claims. You basically have to lie about what your product is capable of because your competitors are. If you're making an app to find and save recipes, you have to pitch it as an AI chef that will find delicious, customized recipes that will cure your diabetes while also making you last longer in bed. There's so much mania right now that your traction will outpace any public criticism or scrutiny, and you'll get acquired by Amazon for $50M within a couple years. Crazy times.

In B2B I see the opposite.

F500/large enterprise buyers are getting questionnaire-fatigue from endless internal AI security, compliance, and legal reviews that they actively avoid products who market "AI" as their primary feature.

The rules of product market fit and go-to-market fit remain the same. Customers will always buy the product, AI or not, that both solves their problem and is priced/marketed in a way that makes it possible to purchase.

So the market is healing?
