Really confused as to why 30,000 businesses would want to pay forty bucks each for the output of a large language model. It’s maybe one step up from an infinite number of monkeys but an insane distance away from market research.

Remember them crypto sites that claimed users in the tens of thousands that never existed? Yeah this is them rebranded and pivoted.

Folks who don’t understand market research or love the chaos? I for one thing most human based market research is low quality anyway, so why not just make something up.

The report outcome in depth is good enough, detailed enough to start iterating on pushing forward rather than having to start from nothing.

Just grab a template and ask ChatGPT to fill it out for you. That’s all this is doing.

This looks like just a prompt and website around the GPT api. Why on earth anyone would pay for this is baffling.

Fails already by the title: 10 cents for a dozen ... token? I thought good suggestions. Not hollow replies from a too generic LLM Setting.

Instead: 40 bucks for one report ... in which it susggests to compare my idea (specific newsletter) to etsy, AirBnB, Uber ... whaaat?! Nope.

I bet the idea was good on paper, as a mockup and in self-testing. But it is not working for those who need help for a niche, which is a lot.

This is actually one of the better use cases of generative AI that I've seen so far. The killer feature that would get me to purchase a $40 report is to see the competitor landscape - this is a big reason why entrepreneurs pay for Crunchbase Pro.

One annoyance I have with market research sources today is having to first select a broad industry, then narrow down the thousands of companies within that industry by quantifiable metrics (employees, fundraising, etc). It would be so much more useful to find the most semantically-relevant companies to the one I'm researching, and maybe even see an auto-generated feature comparison chart.

One of the stated arguments "in favor of" my submitted concept was actually a point against it.

That's the thing about counting on LLMs..
