OpenAI has now made it possible for ordinary people to create wrappers.
I said it here
With one blow, openAI has killed all wrappers (such wisdom). And now, YC's $500k for both 2023 and most of W24 is truly down the drain.
You know, I was going to integrate Medisearch API into my business, now I'll just do it myself.
I was on ion's early access list, now I'll just turn figma to code myself.
I loved Artisan AI, was going to pay for a worker, now I'll just train my worker myself.
And lots more like that....
Meanwhile, we should realise that openAI has not fully killed the market, cos we have over 8billion people on this plannet and only about 1% is technical. What openAI really did is to open their AI to general competition. Which means these startups don't deserve $5k not to talk of $500k investment.
So I think openAI really targeted investors like YC not the startups themselves. If they really wanted to kill the startups, they could have charged crazy like Twitter for their API, instead they made the startups worthless by exposing their secret to everyone, dragging investments into the mud.
The startups will survive, but simply won't make as much money as they could. Any company that would have subscribed to these wrapper startup services will just implement it once and own it forever.
Meanwhile, openAI will still make as such money as they could, even more, now that ordinary people can create their own wrappers. All while making sure that no wrapper startups is milking their hardwork.
Now I guess YC will focus more on nonAIs.
