Not to knock on the OP but in general, if you are doing a startup in 2023, you cannot do it without AI otherwise no one will take your seriously. I am not joking. AI is the new Gold Rush that blockchain used to be. Personally, I do think that AI is awesome and has lot of great use cases but unfortunately, most VCs/Investors are looking for that keyword if you wanna get funded so I feel a lot of startups are forcing AI into their stuff.
Yeah I'm seeing that. As an investor myself, the first question I always ask is "what unique data do you bring to the table that other people can't get?". My next question is always "What value does an LLM add beyond what we could already do with traditional (and much cheaper) models or just rulesets?"
I'd like to think most investors are sophisticated enough to detect when the "AI" was just bolted on for funding, and that most startups aren't actually doing that, but are using LLM for a reason.
