What makes startups with LLMs defensible in this market?

Question

I'm currently talking to investors about my startup's seed round. A core part of our product is using LLMs to automate a common job.Currently, our defensible narrative is that LLMs are just one part of our product and our complete solution is what presents a large opportunity.I'm curious - especially to those who invest or raised recently in this space - what are key characteristics of defensible startups using LLMs.

I have no advice and no business giving it... but I am curious, are the LLMs making the investors feel nervous?I thought it would have the opposite effect, kinda like other buzzwords in the past.
