GlyphLB: if you are a founder of an actually useful business that uses "AI" technology in some defensible way, you should be glad that everyone viscerally hates it so much in public. the sooner we can get out of this "AI" hype cycle, the sooner your investors will stop demanding that you slather "AI" branding all over everything, the sooner you can talk about what your product specifically does and what value it provides and stop blathering about "AI" vaguely.
It's an implementation detail. You don't talk about your other implementation details like this. Imagine if every consumer app started their pitch decks with screenshots of github actions yaml. "we are democratizing github actions" / "imagine where the future of github actions will take us" / "society will be forever changed by our hosted testing environment"
if your product is a customer service PBX why would anyone give a shit whether you're using linear algebra or not. talk about results.
