This article is essentially a damaging self-fulfilling prophecy camouflaging as analysis. The world is full of turnarounds, and stories where "mistakes" turn out to be happy accidents: "maybe so, maybe not."

GPTs are fairly limited right now, but that doesn't mean you can't build fun things composably on top of them...
I - a non technical ignoramus who can't code - made a "universal retro game console" on it on a Friday night:

In order to play, you first prompt up a generative game cartridge on glif.app (FD: I'm a co-founder): https://glif.app/@fab1an/glifs/clotu9ul2002vl90fh6cmpjw0
Like, "tokyo dogsitter simulator". Glif will generate the "cartridge" - an image - that you paste into the GPT to play: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-3p94K4Djb-console-gpt
(you can also browse thousands of games that users have already made and play any of them in the GPT!)
You also have tik tok ravers. A generation which built their own culture in isolation in the pandemic now flooding the dance floors not knowing anything about techno culture. For me it's a big part of not wanting to go anywhere anymore. Before, your outfit didn't matter, phones, photos and videos were discouraged. Nowadays these kids dress to impress and point there phones everywhere. They consume the techno culture and in that way destroy it. It's sad but I think it's over.
Phones and photography are banned in many Berlin clubs - they either lock your phone away at the entrance or put a sticker on the camera. That's why you barely see any footage from inside Berghain anywhere...

I've been thinking a lot about what constitutes "AI-native". In this "blog", I'm exploring this question by turning the blog post itself into something you can prompt and change as you read it.

The described step function changes are super apt and mostly overlooked by the pure hype crowd (although the step functions enabled by AI should really be what the main hype ought to be about!)
That said, once you get into the step function changes, the GPT-wrapper accusation might quickly become akin to a "AWS-wrapper" one, with traditional moats getting more important than AI-native ones.
We've had internet-enabled businesses without technical moats (but very real other moats, be it UX, social platform effects or a great b2b sales process) for the longest time, and might just see the same thing play out in AI native land
