AI investment is actually down recently, looks like the hype is wearing off since most of the companies funded were just wrapping OpenAI APIs. I will copy paste a post I submitted before regarding a similar issue.

6 months ago it looked like AI / LLMs were going to bring a much needed revival to the venture startup ecosystem after a few tough years.
With companies like Jasper starting to slow down, it’s looking like this may not be the case.
Right now there are 2 clear winners, a handful of losers, and a small group of moonshots that seem promising.
Let’s start with the losers.
Companies like Jasper and the VCs that back them are the biggest losers right now. Jasper raised >$100M at a 10-figure valuation for what is essentially a generic, thin wrapper around OpenAI. Their UX and brand are good, but not great, and competition from companies building differentiated products specifically for high-value niches are making it very hard to grow with such a generic product. I’m not sure how this pans out but VC’s will likely lose their money.
The other category of losers are the VC-backed teams building at the application layer that raised $250K-25M in Dec - March on the back of the chatbot craze with the expectation that they would be able to sell to later-stage and enterprise companies. These startups typically have products that are more…

To be absolutely honest, this wasn't a very conscious choice :-)

> whose tagline is "Generative AI for Elite Law Firms"
That's a terrible tagline. Why would an elite law firm want generative AI?
FWIW, their homepage is worse, it contains the single phrase "Unprecedented legal AI" and a waitlist signup button, nothing else. (Which is also unintentionally funny, because lawyers care a lot about precedents!)

Anyone know what this thing actually does? Neither TFA nor https://www.harvey.ai/ contain any clues.

How much do you think I ought to reveal? There are well-funded startups like harvey.ai[1] in this space that I want to stay ahead of.
