Hardly the hundreds of so-called 'AI startups' crying for VC money over a wrapper AI product aren't smart enough to realize how OpenAI is directly competing against them.
There are plenty of countries around the world, special use cases, etc. and enough work for the normal it world to go around.
For my startup, im pretty sure the finetuning is a huge win even if we 'just use' openai because openai doesn't have the information we have and i'm pretty sure they also don't care for our niche (right now, and AGI in 20 years, i will probably no longer be needed one way or the other ;P)
