Getting familiar with AI and even building with it is valuable in itself. Every beginning of a new process takes time but eventually you will build systems that will save you time.

Sure but does this mean that consumer saas or anything that's more trivial then thousands of hours of eng work is essentially dead?
What is "consumer SaaS" anyway? Do you mean B2C with "consumer"? Because no, B2C is not at more risk than B2B.

Consumer saas being anything like a real consumer product. Games, fintech apps, task apps, etc. My product specifically is in a grey area of b2b vs b2c because it's for early stage founders/pre revenue companies. So arguably b2b but very upstream.
Yeah, you're in the worst hit category by far. Both for B2C and enterprise B2B there are reasons that mitigate it a lot.

Eh, I haven’t found that to be the case. The AI workflows are too nascent, too stochastic, and change too often to be a good use of time.
