I can see it happening. You have to utilize a lot of other one person startup services, so ultimately it’s a still a virtual company.
But you won’t have to be beholden to anyone other than the customer.
So every individual becomes a company? The natural tendency of capitalism is to create bigger companies for "scale". Even if it was possible, what exactly would be the benefit of one person companies?

That is a real shame. I have had almost exclusively positive interactions with the other parents and kids at the playground. Maybe a different culture where you are.

Open source quiz creator to create quizzes by pasting in text or selecting from a large range of historical categories.
Started as a very simple app for me to play around with OpenAI’s API last year then morphed into a portfolio project during my job search earlier this year. Now happily employed but still hacking on it.
Right now, a user can create a quiz, take a quiz, save it and share the quiz with other people using a URL.
Demo: You can try out the full working application at https://quizknit.com

The possibility that OpenAI, Anthropic or other companies in the space can lose their investors money does not make the technology a "con". As long as they do not try to pass their losses to the tax payers, how is this a problem? If anything, the history of tech has abundant examples of the first movers in a space not capturing the eventual economic value.
It is ridiculous to say that generative AI is a con at this point when it is by far the best way to search the internet (in spite of hallucinations).

Is this some form of similarity matching on the plot synopsis? Could you describe what's under the hood?
I am using OpenAI's API for the movie recommendations based on the user's input and pulling the movie metadata from OMDb (https://www.omdbapi.com/)
