My issue with the "product" is that there's no value in it. If you're going to give me an LLM with a straightforward prompt, don't try to spin it as something it's not. There are plenty of applications for LLMs in consumer products, but the output will have no higher information content than the input: if you're tempted to use a trivial skin over an LLM (particularly a publicly-accessible one) to directly transform my input without telling me, please don't. Give me access to the LLM and the prompt and let me be the judge of whether it's worthwhile.
"We've prompted this general purpose LLM to act like a cookery expert" sounds a lot less impressive than "We've built a cookery AI".
