Why are there 10,000 startups who got their GPT3 keys and immediately decided that they would add some kind of unique value by turning a hello-world demo into a startup. Great - you bring GPT3 DaVinci to Google Docs. Or Chrome. Or whatever. You think this hasn't occurred to Google. Or that your prompt engineering is beyond Google? (In reality they're waiting for their own model, or trying to negotiate a large-scale deal as Microsoft did.) "Extend a popular application of your choice to support GPT3" is likely already on curriculum everywhere for people learning to code. There's no value-add being one of 1,000 people implementing the most-obvious use case when an API gets released to the world at the exact same time. And clearly in 2 years time this is wrapped directly by Google & provided by OpenAI directly & also will be a very popular beginner code tutorial project.

Aha... my bad you're a marketplace for human-editors not yet another GPT3 wrapper. I just re-read it. I was overly pattern matching because of the eye-rolling number of GPT3 hello-world companies. I'll leave my comment up for the MANY people who will pattern-match the same way.

  Yep, you got it. This is one key reason we're focused on a human editing / collaboration experience. It seems likely that the GPT-3 space will get commoditized fairly quickly and the type of support we provide isn't within striking distance of the machines... yet ;)

    What kind of technologies will help your business in the long run if it is currently human editor marketplace? I am looking for some technical entry barriers against potential competitors.

      Long-term, I think our moat has more to do with network effects and less to do with technical barriers to entry. I think our success hinges more on our ability to create incentives that attract & retain the highest-quality contributors so that we reliably create an incomparable experience for writers.
