This rings so true! I think it's natural whenever there's a new technology that a lot of start ups spring up with a vibe of "GenAI is cool, let's do something with that!", which is 100% the wrong way to go about building something.
Starting by investing yourself fully into a given problem, and fixing it with the most appropriate tool (might be GenAI, might not) is much more likely to end in something people actually want or need.
Doing the reverse, and trying to find an existing problem that matches a solution you've already picked is how you end up with hundreds of companies selling thin API wrappers for ChatGPT.
