My bet is on unverified AI going the way of the dodo. I’m sorta sick of hallucinated nonsense. I also don’t see a business use case for a lot of “cool” ai products.

I don't know, remember the controversy over the wildly inaccurate historical AI images? That could serve some satirical products.

In my optimistic moments, I think that.

In my realistic moments I think that we will rewrite medical law, banking law, and privacy law and so on to accomodate the shitty AI children of billionaires. Misdiagnosed by "AI"? Too bad. Lose a job because of AI? Too bad. Sentenced to death by an AI-powered criminal investigation? Too bad.

But YC just funded hundreds of AI companies. This would mean the world’s smartest investors are wrong. This is, frankly, impossible.

I'll have to assume you don't understand how tech investing works. Give a dollar to 100 companies and you've spent $100. 99% fail, but one ends up returning $1,000 and you've 10x'ed.
