I would say that AI and cryptocurrencies are the startup clichés of today.

Don't start with a solution in search of a problem. Instead, start with a problem, and see if you can find a solution. When comparing problem-solution pairs, discount those that involve trendy, hyped technologies, to account for mental bias.

To say they're cliche suggests we've exhausted all ideas in the space which we definitely have not.
