I don't know. Would we have called prior software "internet wrappers" or "rest api wrappers"?

Someone else above/below commented "Marketing --> Product".

I see it that I have a problem, someone solves that problem. I pay $$ per month. Everyone is happy.

I'd say "solution" or "product" and not get stuck on the technical details (for/to which I agree with you but 90% of the people don't care).

When you buy milk you don't buy liquid+container+shipping, you buy food. You consume the food. Belly feels nice. See you tomorrow for another bottle.

I don't agree with this word trickery of 'everything is just a wrapper'. The internet, browsers, and rest APIs are much more like scaffolding or 'infrastructure'.

Internet (and/or browser) :: website or webapp

is not the same as

OpenAI/Antropic/model company :: GPT wrapper

There is a substantial qualitative difference, at least at this point.

Yes, saying everything is a REST or database wrapper is ingenuous. I’m sorry, but can my database help me compute sales taxes across all my products? Can it help me conduct performance reviews for all my employees?

On the other hand, ChatGPT can easily help me write content (Jasper/CopyAI) or do company research or write an outreach email (AI sales tools)
