Maybe it's the fact that we've seen VCs and a16 specifically push for highly overhyped things that didn't really come true like WeWork, Crypto?

If we go beyond a16, the last decade has shown us VCs pushing for insane valuations for companies that went under after hiring sprees. We've seen Mark Zuckerberg sing similar odes to Metaverse.

At some point you stop believing the next big thing from a certain crowd.

This doesn't mean I am not exploring how to use AI and even have something I am working on in terms of an idea, it's just that caution is advised.
