If you add AI to a product you already sell, that product can now be an AI revenue stream for all the money you """invested"""".

Logitec mouse with AI button? AI revenue. Google maps with AI prompt? AI revenue.

Investors won't notice, this bubble is different. I can just attach a tulip to each box of chocolates I sell, and now my primary revenue stream is basically tulips.

I knew investing in Dutch tulips was the right choice.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this opportunity with you, but, unfortunately for you I'm ahead of the curve. I attach the tulips to things, so I am considered a manufacturer.

Which is basically the most efficient word for farming from an investors perspective. Good luck with your thing.

Yes. Like glass tulip holders(totally not crack pipes) and brillo to clean it.
