Building products with AI, I recommend this snippet from OpenAI’s Product Lead Reveals the New Playbook for Product-Market Fit in AI Startups article. The rest of the article is paywalled, yet the intro is valuable.
Points being:

• "The biggest mistake I see AI founders make is treating PMF like a checkbox," I recently shared in our last cohort AI Product Management Certification. "In the AI world, PMF is a moving target. Your users' definition of 'intelligent enough' changes every month as they interact with better AI systems elsewhere."
• This creates what I call the AI PMF Paradox: you need to achieve a fit with a market that's constantly evolving its expectations of what AI should do.
