I've had to deal with this kind of company in FOMO mode. They start from a solution (AI) in search of a problem to solve, while the ideal approach would be the inverse.

Pretty much a guarantee that a lot of money will be wasted while panickly iterating through pointless approaches. I figure this happens every time a new fundamental technology comes out, the dot-com bubble has probably seen many such companies.

more money is being printed than ever before.. some people literally have to find something to do with it.. the waste in AI marketing is one result.

AI in the digital age is uniquely disruptive however, since it connects directly to the way we communicate.. so there is some reason to be wound-up by this, whatever role you are in

Starting from a problem and making a solution requires that you understand both your problem domain and the domain of the solution very well. Much harder than taking a hammer and hitting everything that kind of looks like a nail
