New AI Startup Paradigm: Copilots Aren't Good Enough! -Benchmark Capital GP Sarah Tavel

It's interesting how fast the AI-driven products are evolving.

It's going to be a wild ride!

I respect Sarah but this idea to sell the final product instead of tool for productivity is a bit off. An AI company would have then to specialize in every single industry and have complete and dedicated business structure to be a player in that particular industry-instead of just being an AI company and selling AI assistance to everybody. AI assistants are in a way like Excel as to productivity improvement (or let's use Excel as a demonstration)-you get results from lots of data. Imagine if Microsoft would have to become a pharma company, a fast food company, a mining company to be able to sell not Excel as a tool but results the Excel produces in every single industry. E.g. Microsoft would have to completely build a pharma company to be able to sell results of its productivity tools to pharma-Microsoft would become a big part of the value chain in pharma instead of just improving productivity tools applicable generally in any industry. Also, lets not forget that the narrower is focus industrywise, the smaller market there is. In our example with Microsoft and Excel, instead of selling it to everybody MS would be lilmited by only pharma industry or industries it built the full stack for.

I am turned off when the first 5 seconds of a video highlight the speaker dropping the f-bomb for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And by the second minute, using the terms "like" too many times, and "at the end of the day". This doesn't seem clear, synthetic thinking.
