I think I see an AI #bubble forming in my inbox

I'm getting daily daily pitches from AI startups I’ve never heard of, from PR peeps and agencies I’ve never worked with before.

I’ve even spotted a PR company that used to specialize in blockchain rebrand itself to de-emphasize all things crypto.

I’ve seen this before with the #metaverse, #blockchain, #virtualreality and several other waves of tech hype.

It seems to me that when a market heats up, many funded companies spend some of their money on hashtag#PR. Almost none of those companies survive. PR companies score some dumb money and grow, then shrink again.


Their PR isn't pretty because the startups don’t have a lot to say and their pitches tend to follow a formula of mentioning the VC that funded them, the fact their founder worked at Big Tech companies, and their intent to revolutionize/democratize something.

If I'm right, I'm in for about 2 years of this junk
