> Not virtue signaling, but I seem to be asking a different question than people are answering. I’m asking what the product opportunity is and people keep telling me examples of tasks that they use it for.
Sorry, I misunderstood. "I am not using AI" has become a sort of badge of honor in certain communities so I was wondering if that's what it was.
> (2) there may be some niche product opportunities on top of the model platform, but the primary big winner here is the platform itself. (That’s not necessarily a new insight, but it seems especially true here.)
I agree with that conclusion. I think the chat interface is the killer product. I treat ChatGPT as an assistant/intern that is really good at some tasks but that can also sometimes make dumb mistakes. It has also replaced a lot of queries I would have previously done on Google or questions I might have asked somewhere (e.g. in a forum, Reddit, Discord, etc.).
Many startups build ___domain specific UIs on top of it using the API, but whether that will become a sustainable business model remains to be seen[0]. I am reminded of the many "vertical" search engines that were once trying to compete with Google.
