HN 提问:一个面向拒绝 AI 的年轻创意人士的创业公司是否可行?

2 分•作者: mondobe•11 天前
我是大学游戏开发社团的一员,身边有很多才华横溢的程序员和各种类型的艺术家。我注意到几乎所有人都对人工智能持否定态度,这种情绪在刚加入社团的年轻人中尤为强烈。我所说的“否定”是指他们拒绝在游戏中出现由人工智能生成的内容,并将人工智能的使用视为一种道德上的失败。 与此同时,我浏览YC的创业公司目录,按发布日期排序,发现几乎所有非硬件公司(以及大多数硬件公司)都完全基于人工智能。我之前描述的那类年轻创意人士,也就是我们社团里的那些人,完全没有可能主动使用这些产品。 在我看来,随着GPT-6等模型能力的增强,大多数人工智能初创公司的护城河正趋近于零。对于任何愿意付出努力并实际编写人们想要的代码的人来说,这个市场基本上是一片蓝海(借用商业书籍的术语)。从那里开始,网络效应将像互联网诞生之初一样发挥作用。 我正在探索创办这样一家公司的想法(它最初是一个副业项目,我已经独自开发了近两年),但我担心孵化器、风险投资和投资者普遍持有的态度。缺乏人工智能是否会让大多数外部投资者望而却步?我知道在2021年有人创办了非区块链公司,但人工智能的炒作似乎比任何可能提供资金的人更具吸引力。我知道自力更生对一些公司来说是可行的,但这是否是唯一的途径?我非常感谢大家能提供的任何建议。

I am a member of my university&#x27;s game development club, which puts me around lots of talented programmers as well as artists of all kinds, and I&#x27;ve observed that just about everyone disapproves of AI. The sentiment is especially strong among younger people coming into the club. By &quot;disapproves&quot;, I mean they refuse to allow AI-generated content in games and see AI use in general as something like a moral failure.<p>At the same time, I scroll down the YC startup directory, sorting by launch date, and observe that every non-hardware company (and most of the hardware ones) are entirely based on AI. The demographic I described above, young creatives like the ones in this club, has zero chance of voluntarily using one of these products.<p>It seems to me, then, that as the moat for most AI startups drops asymptotically to 0 with GPT-6 et al. becoming more capable, this market is mostly a blue ocean (to use the business-book term) for anyone willing to put in the work and actually code something people want. From there, network effects would work as well as they have since the dawn of the Internet.<p>I am exploring the idea of making such a startup (it started out as a side project which I have been working on by myself for almost 2 years), but I am worried about the attitude of incubators, VCs, and investors in general. Would the lack of AI be a nonstarter for most outside investors? I know people started non-blockchain companies in 2021, but the hype around AI seems orders of magnitude more captivating to anybody who might provide capital. I know bootstrapping is viable for some companies, but would that be the only way? I appreciate any advice people might have.
