OpenAI is going to show us how closed they are and who’s startup that they are going to kill. First it was Jasper, then the Chat with PDF apps and now it will be the custom chatbot services like Chatbase. The second biggest lie by OpenAI after its now contradictory namesake, is that it competes against its own partners after denying that they don’t.

Obviously you're gonna get eaten if you just add some fluff on top of their API and it ends up popular. People are smart enough to realise this right?

  > People are smart enough to realise this right? Hardly the hundreds of so-called 'AI startups' crying for VC money over a wrapper AI product aren't smart enough to realize how OpenAI is directly competing against them.

OpenAI has every right to "kill" any startup that is just a wrapper around their API. You aren't obligated to not compete with people using your own product to make money.

The IT worlds is basically integration and / or very niche custom software development. There are plenty of countries around the world, special use cases, etc. and enough work for the normal it world to go around. For my startup, im pretty sure the finetuning is a huge win even if we 'just use' openai because openai doesn't have the information we have and i'm pretty sure they also don't care for our niche (right now, and AGI in 20 years, i will probably no longer be needed one way or the other ;P)
