What are tarpit ideas in the AI era?

For those unfamiliar with the term, tarpit ideas are ideas that always attract lots of founders but never really work. They usually sound amazing on paper. Some examples from before AI include restaurant recommendation apps or apps that help you split bills.

My current vision of AI tarpit ideas: - AI chatbots that combine multiple models - Code review agents - Old tarpit ideas now powered by AI - Ad generators

Do you have any other ideas to add? Or do you think it's too early to define tarpit ideas for the AI era?
