Anyone else feel like the startup scene is becoming the Wild West?

Anyone else noticing this insane wave of AI startups lately? It feels like every other launch is "AI-powered," which is cool, but let's be honest, how many of these are actually built to last?

I'm seeing record investments pouring into AI, yet we also see a ton of these projects just... disappear. It makes you wonder, right? Are we chasing hype, or are there real, sustainable businesses emerging from all this?

So, here's the question: How do you spot the truly promising AI ventures from the ones that are just riding the trend? And for the founders out there, what's really driving you to build in this space, beyond the quick wins?
