Being a "AI startup" makes about as much sense as being a "Python startup."
What does your company do? We do Python!
OK, but what problem are you solving? Lots of them, but what's important is we solve it using Python code!

I know someone who's relied on the same consultancy company for all things tech related since the early 90's. If they don't know how to do something, like build a website, they just outsource it on upwork or something, and charge a 10:1 markup.
At least "AI startups" might turn out to be more beneficial than "crypto startups" were.
