“VC Money Hose” has been redirected to anything with AI in the name. “Vercel, powered by AI” would receive plenty of funding. ;)

Basically. So many startups pivoted so hard to try and get some AI exposure it's absurd. An insurance startup is now an AI insurance startup, finance startup is now an AI finance startup, accounting startup is now an AI accounting startup, blockchain startups are now AI-blockchain startups.

This to shall pass.
