The A.I. hype = crypto gold rush v2. Current strategy: create a service that can bolt on the OpenAI API in some unique or helpful way, charge people a fee/sub for it and make as much money as possible before a competitor comes in or big tech integrates your idea into their core product.

@kimonostereo Relieved to see that I'm not the only one who is not immediately breathless at all of this hype.

@kimonostereo I think there's something very new with AI, but I agree that products looking to capitalize quickly by only repurposing someone else's API aren't going to last. Instead it will be a tool that can make existing (already useful) products better.

@manton Agreed. It's very boring to see Product Hunt full of apps bolting on some sort of A.I. daily, but I guess that should be expected.

@SimonWoods it was interesting at first, but now every single new app has the word A.I. in it.

@manton @kimonostereo Agreed, Manton. Your own implementation of this with Micro.blog's podcasts is a good example of careful and tasteful use.

Yeah Scott, it's sad to see people rushing desperately to use tabloid-style tactics purely for attention. I can't think of any way in which it ends well for the people involved.

@kimonostereo agree. It’s good to take a step back and see how all this craze plays out. I’m not interested in seeing what it can do in apps, more what it brings for accessibility and how much smarter speech recognition becomes with something like Siri to make me use my devices less.

Plus everything seems to be eggs in one basket too… most, if not all, are powered by OpenAI.
