This article is missing an even more important point: you don't always need to start with an LLM, plain old coding still solves a lot of problems.

There are plenty of AI companies solving interesting problems and possibly worth it. But most problems are more simple than that and that hasn't changed.

Without it being attached to the AI hype, it surely is. In the current tech landscape, there’s a tendency to stuff AI into everything, so anything that doesn’t include it ends up being left behind.

Some media outlets pushed that for clicks. According to an employee who worked there that they built some ai models and used AI.
