  * somebody. the idea is simple: gpt4 + python + reactjs + PSQL + 2 evenings -> working demo.

    You probably don't need python and P(ostgres?)SQL too?

Same feeling here: a simple ChatGPT prompt, masked as an Editor, having a Pricing page on it. I might be wrong. And I had another feeling: soon every YC startup will do the same thing over an over again: pick any idea + chatgpt + pricing

  Seems like their new criteria of entrance might strike the quality :( >52% had nothing more than an idea. https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1642566043053826048?s=52&t=EHRPA2YQidcCZkJpOjQS2Q https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1642566043053826048?s=52&t=...

    This is quite interesting, the recent launches of AI API wrapper companies posted on HN draw my attention. I like the innovation and use of the latest AI technology, but at the same time, I see a wrapper around an external API. Yes there can be more services providing LLMs, but those services are part of huge tech cos with established software and customer/user bases. The GPT-effect on the market is good, maybe internal reorgs will focus on UX improvements to integrate AI more into existing products (at what speed/pace...can a startup steal the thunder or just show what UX is needed...) Genuinely curious how this all pans out, it is an exciting time!

Yea, and I can easily imagine in the near future you don't even have to wait for somebody to copy these simpler "app-around-an-API" apps because AI models will generate the interface and the simpler logic for you on the fly. There will be still value in the human input: the ideas of the creator / prompter about what kind of features should the AI include, but if others too have access to the same app-generating AI then they can just generate it based on the same idea. So copying simpler apps will become a lot easier and you would need some complex feature as the core value of your app to compete with AI generated apps.

You can do this in emacs, it's not really a big deal. It's a very simple editor that takes the text you've typed (or the text that's in context) and formats it as a query for "Open"AI's API. The only thing they're banking on is the "type.ai" name which I can assure you, no one is going to remember in the face of multi-syllable, heavily marketed, non-common-verb company names.
