I relate to the other comments that (1) Explosion of AI generated blogs / copy etc is not what we need and it's hard to see the value of it long term (2) this looks like a simple usage on top of GPT4, no real IP / innovation - this is risky from a business model perspective.
Good luck!
I think it's safe to assume more models will be introduced and vendor lock-in can be avoided, but I find it hard to believe some of the "simpler" ideas can create compelling, VC-scale businesses.
Thus, because the executives want Altman to succeed (to presumably advance their own career) and because they're in charge of YC, which is an investor in openai, they have every incentive in funding startups that then use OpenAI as the main platform.
That's not how YC or VC works.
Rather, YC is banking that some of the use cases get people hooked, thus causing vendor lock in, to these new apps, which end up benefiting YC both by benefitting the companies they're funding as well as benefitting open ai.
I don't share the sentiment that companies that are 'just' layers over OpenAI are incapable of building moats.
I'm sure they imagine that when they figure out something actually worth doing, they'll already have a user base and revenue stream and reputation. If there's somebody out there doing something more innovative, they'll either buy them out or reproduce their idea in-house.
Me, I'm skeptical that there's a "there" here. But that's why somebody else is getting rich and I'm not.
Not every experience is going to be best suited to fit in a chat box like ChatGPT which opens the door for startups like this one to build something new.
I'm excited when I see products like this, and I think we really need to retire the critique of "Its just an API call to OpenAI". While yes that is a core part of it, there is a lot of time and effort that goes into developing these experiences that has value
> The thing that excites me most about generative AI isn't "more," it's better. I often use Type to write satire and now whenever I hit a block, I don't tab over to Twitter – I have Type generate some ideas. Often, I don't use them as-is but they do inspire a new angle I hadn't thought of.
One #2, I think there's some truth to that today. But our belief is that over time, these products will start to evolve into something more advanced and useful. A product like Type, for example, won't really look like Google Docs + AI in 3 years, it will start to feel like a more novel category of tool. We'll see, though!
We'll all be locked in to walled gardens (figuratively) since anything out on the wild/open/unverified internet will just be fake. This is what could rescue traditional media if they play their cards right. Providing genuine content by authenticated and verified-human authors.
"fake emotions"
"fake ideas"
"fake attractions"
"fake memes"
"fake dreams"
I imagine the Luddites were themselves angry about fake work and fake souls. We did okay though.
Humans will cope [1]. We are resilient as fuck. We once had to fend off lions and bacterial infections and getting throttled in the night. Now we worry about lattes, stock prices, and political hullabaloo. We'll be fine.
[1] (Not just cope. I'm willing to bet that it'll be better than everything that came before.)
Hahaha haha no
Their hallucinations are worse than ChatGPT's
You can generate the first draft in the chatGPT-4 window, then ask it to add a section or expand a list and it works pretty well in the chat interface. So it's not really hard to write articles with bare chatGPT UI.
I would happily pay a token or credit-based fee to use this while in heavy writing mode.
A MRR or ARR license for this? hmmmm... it would need to be multi-modal with dynamic page layouts and images to justify a subscription (for me).
Or auto-update a doc in the background via async AI.
