This trope gets trotted out every time someone casts a skeptical eye on buzzy tech. In this case GP is saying that OpenAI, Microsoft and Google's apps are already "Dropbox-y" enough and that (paraphrasing fairly hard) the flood of "AI" startups are wafer thin combinations of "Bootstrap UI + GPT API calls + a vector store". Maybe there's a killer unicorn app hiding in one of those wafer thin wrappers, but OP's point is precisely that it's disappointing how wafer-ish all these "exciting applications" actually are, relative to the massive sense of expectation that existed only a few months ago.
