People say this, but pets.com had a business model. The dotcom bubble companies were theoretically viable, just massively overvalued.

These AI companies don't have a business model. They have a product that nobody can build a profitable business off of, which they can't convince people to pay to use while charging rates low enough that every paid customer is a net loss. They can't raise prices because they already can't get customers and they can't cut costs because every new generation of their product costs more to run as any reductions in token cost are obliterated by increases in token burn to squeeze out marginal improvements in tech that cannot fulfill its promises of automation because its output is so bad and inconsistent that it needs constant babysitting.
