So many AI startups are really just paper-thin layers over publicly-available models like GPT. There's value there, but probably not enough to support $100M+ valuations.
We've barely scratched the surface of what generative AI can do from a product perspective, but there's a mad dash to build "chatbots for $x vertical" and investors should be a little skeptical.
- coding123 3y agoThat's my take too. Companies are spending money in the wrong area. GPT and similar should be used to re-categorize all the data, or used to enhance their existing UIs by surfacing related information. By just replicating a ChatGPT interface but for Your Taxes (TM) it's really a huge slap in the face to computer users that already can't tolerate typing data in.

- nkohari 3y agoThe developer experience of AWS is so bad it creates a lot of opportunity to provide value there. The same was also true for Salesforce for a long time.
