The age old Moravec paradox, you can teach a computer to calculate a million chess moves in a microsecond or diagnose cancer from x-rays but imitating the motor skills of a stoned mcdonalds worker flippig burgers is virtually impossible.
The recent sudden leaps in LLMs etc have made the tech investors think "what if" again.
What if the software becomes smart enough to actually work in general applications next year, who's going to be in a position to capitalize and make a trillion dollars on it? The guy who already has an assembly line making shitty robots that almost work before falling over in embarrassing tech demos, or the guy who scoffed and has nothing?
Maybe the investors are delusional about the present state of the tech, and maybe they're not and simply have unthinkable amounts of money to gamble on long shots that probably won't pan out.
There's method to the madness. I wouldn't invest in it but I don't have a billion dollars to waste.
