Given that it's a 2 yearish old article (although there's no date in the post), I'm wondering if these predictions are proven correct:
> The barrier to entry to developing a viable product gets low for everyone, meaning hundreds of competitors will pop up overnight.
> A lot of founders are going to try to start businesses based on GPT-3, and a lot of money will go into them, and it’s going to be a blood bath.
I'm not really following the AI startup landscape, but I haven't seen a Cambrian explosion of GPT-3 apps, although I noticed a few ones. Blood bath is also way too dramatic. Anyone seen a post where a founder of a heavily GPT-3 based startup cried out how their startup was destroyed because "x"?
- andreyk 4y agoIt has happened in some cases, eg with all the "generate marketing copy with AI" businesses. But yeah, in general the article assumes that GPT-3 will have lots of applications that make it super easy to make a useful product with very little extra effort, and that is just not true. Twitter demos are easy, robust and useful products are not.
