One buzz word that I keep reading here is the "AI Wrapper Startups". What are some examples of these that you find interesting? Please add 1-2 lines to describe the use case.
Because every Santa-Banta startup has started to pitch AI wrappers to me over the last so many month.
If it ends up getting paid customers and solving a problem in a niche, one can always move to their own hosted llms in future, genuine question - what is the issue in that?
Api call to gpt3 might be the mvp version of a truly ai company, isnt it?
Not really. AI wrappers are crap. The only way they can make money is to create a dependency on one client and sell it to them.
Not investable at all.
I completely agree.
AI wrapper is a poor term. It's like saying every app is a Ui layer on SQL tables.
Updating my LinkedIn Bio to this.
Gold.
Because when someone pitches you actual AI algorithms, you make fun of them for being too out of touch, or underdressed, or compare them to a random AI wrapper startup.
Indian VCs are getting what they deserve. Drive out all the actual technical talent to America in their love of charlatans (being charlatans themselves).
Most good AI talent I knew lived in Hyderabad and Bangalore is now working for one of the US companies while Indians are funding and hiring posers.
GPT is good at mimicking human answers. Like a chatbot. But you need reliable information. For example, I’m working on an AI finance app. We are working to stabilise consistency of data which is a very difficult problem. But we don’t expect our AI to behave like a chatgpt. So a collaboration between two optimised AI is the path forward. But honestly, it’s too early to see the winners and losers of the AI race!

Seeing this for a few weeks now. Noticed it when PG tweeted about how there are 100 ai startups in the batch and all are legit. That is none of then it’s phony or opportunistic. He also talked about how domain experts are building in AI ...
What would happen to all the AI startups that are raising massive rounds at insane valuations once OpenAI improves GPT-4 (some spicy rumours are going around) or comes up with GPT-5?
Most of these "AI" startups are just a wrapper around...
What is the reason for this? Lack of pay, Lack of cutting edge research?
