Not doing so will produce same boring Chatgpt based bot, everyone have already seen and tired off. I mean, differention is quite important thing actually.

That's why you should spend your time building a great product rather than an also-ran model. While you're working on your model, your competitors are working on their products. In a few months when your model is made obsolete by the latest OpenAI release, your competitors will have a better product and a better model than you.

  This is a persistent, but in fact a poorly justified opinion. First of all, according to linked article, they were able to make something much better and cheaper than Chatgpt (for their task obv.) in quite a short period of time. What stops them from making the same feat again? What makes you think, that the same boring bland OpenAI wrappers are going to take off at all, let alone survive till next OpenAI iteration? People are not stupid, they can see that the product you are offering is essentially a low-effort wrapper, they have already seen, why would they choose you product at all?

    You seem to be conflating a "boring" product with using OpenAI models, but the two have nothing to do with each other. 99% of users don't care what models you're using underneath. They only care how well the product works. "What stops them from making the same feat again?" Hopefully nothing, for their sake, because they're going to have to do it again and again to keep up. Look, I'm not saying this specific product was wrong to build their own models for certain tasks. If it works for their product and they're getting users, then bully for them. I just don't think it's great general advice. I also think it provides a lot less long-term differentiation and competitive edge than the author of the post seems to think.

      The whole point was not to make something just for sake of making different. The Chatgpt solution was inferior for being too expensive too general a solution for their problem. Which means that everyone else who relies on openai for their product will hit the same limitations and will end up looking like copycat boring bland service. > I also think it provides a lot less long-term differentiation and competitive edge than the author of the post seems to think. This is just an opinion. There are many feats OpenAI cann pull, such as stop updating their product, for whatever reason or starting charging too high price.
