One more perspective - AI right now is receiving more simultaneous startup attention than anything else ever. It's like a starting gun has been fired. So the chance that there's not just one but 20 people working on your idea is abnormally high.
I predict that YC batches the next couple of years will have not just duplicates but waves, and themes
In the scheme of things it's really unlikely anyone right now is having unique and valuable ideas in the AI space, I think there will be a tonne of simultaneous invention. What matters is being 4 weeks sooner and worrying about users not competition
