That’s true. The general sentiment of AI will influence investor behavior and the availability of money. If LLMs fail spectacularly, it could make it harder to find investors open to the idea of using AI for various other things too. The past 10 years has seen a massive rise in new AI companies, so they will be able keep on selling tried and tested AI even when investor money dries up.
