Venture capital is trying to fund companies that have the potential to grow their valuation many many many times over in a relatively short amount if time.
AI is obviously very powerful and has the potential to change things quickly IF it turns out it can be good at important tasks that people will pay for. If someone finds a really good use case then they can scale that with essentially no problems until the vcs are fat and happy.
Pouring money into AI garbo also feels like a hedge to investors when they see it as just funneling down to their other investments.
Together these things end up looking like an attractive vc target so we see a ton of these "companies" that are a bag of prompts on top of a different company's code/model.
