I see it as different history repeating: VC capital inserting itself as the middleman between people and things they want. If all of our interactions with external web sites now go through ChatGPT that gives OpenAI a phenomenal amount of power. Just like Google did with search.

Having a way to deal with companies while avoiding their internal policies (e.g. upselling, "retention team", ...) would be very nice. Yes, VCs want this because it's an opportunity for a double-sided marketplace, but I still want it too. I wonder to what extent is what these FANG businesses want with AI can be described as just "an API into businesses that don't want to provide an API".
