Are most of the AI apps in ChatGPT wrappers?
- 8BitArmour 2y agoOla's krutim definitely is
- ghoshbishakh 2y agoYes
- mmarian 2y agoProbably, but does that matter? Isn't Vercel an AWS wrapper as well?
- qbxk 2y agoaren't you just a mitochondria wrapper?
- mmarian 2y agoI'm pretty clueless about biology, so I'll assume the answer to that is a yes. Not sure what the purpose of the comment is though, it supports my argument that you can't just call something a wrapper of its components without taking into consideration the leap to make it all come together.
- BWStearns 2y agoThat's more or less the definition of AI app for the moment, no? If it's not using an LLM[0] for whatever magic trick it's offering then it's not really an AI app. And if it mediates input/output between the user and the LLM then it's an LLM wrapper. Every software product is a wrapper of sorts and necessarily masks the some functionality of the ingredients it's made from in order to provide a productive interface. [0] I know there are other kinds of AI but that's not what people mean when they say AI app now, for better or worse.
- meiraleal 2y agoYes. And most SaaS are AWS wrappers. Do you think this is a problem?
- gtirloni 2y agoNice reductio ad absurdum. Clearly most SaaS are not wrappers around AWS. Unless you want to say an operating system is a wrapper around the hardware, RAID is a wrapper around disks, etc. The difference being they add something meaningful which most AI SaaS apps don't (they have a UI that's not any better than the original chatbots and simply have a system prompt that does something -- which the user could easily enter in their own chatbot through custom instructions and whatnot).
- meiraleal 2y agoNot now but many of them were 10 years ago. Current AI Apps are ChatGPT wrappers because it will take time to develop things to differentiate them
- FStorm007 2y agoIt would be great, actually!
