I see a lot of companies with fresh faced 25 year olds that are running all kinds of AI stuff. Everything from NPT, Vision, organization tools.

What I don't get is how they're doing this with such small teams. How are these young companies building out AI services?

Once I started to work with an “AI” startup. After a short time, I learned that it was but “AI” just a bunch of if/then statements in Python.

Times have changed, now it's downloading an existing open source model and selling it back to people

Tbf, the term AI is fairly broad. Very few of these startups specify their use of machine learning
