    I just came across a similar post on the Y Combinator reddit. “Don’t let the AI be your product” - its crazy that so many companies rely heavily on other company ecosystems and make that their core product. I was saying on the other subreddit that its not only happened in the AI space but look at Meta and how things changed rapidly for companies that build core products around Whatsapp’s API.

    But its a good lesson to build and innovate around systems and try ensure you have your own system that in the off-chance something bad happens, you still have something that people can use and want.

    Hope you find your footing and pivot out of this. Make sure to move fast and judging from the number of upvotes, I think a lot of people are rooting for you! So good luck with everything.

    If anyone is interested I can link an article I found about startups surviving with the new Open AI releases. Could be relevant.

    After you started coding, you should be able to launch in max 2 months for most software startups.For example I developed ai image generation mobile app in 2 weeks, it was just generating ai, nothing else. Just put the minimal testable main feature, remove everything else for MVP launch.

    Also read the lean Startup by Eric Ries.

    This is common with these people, they have a great idea, but they never seem to get around to actually launching it.

    Yet they are always there to complain.

    I feel like if OpenAI killed your startup, your startup was either AI based, or a work type so unstable and easy that AI itself can do the job.

    I’m pretty fucking drained from hearing about any new “amazing AI tool” that comes out every day or two, claiming they have something cool going on but in reality it’s just prompt and OpenAI API behind some fancy frontend.

    What’s even more draining is the click bait thumbnails “CHATGPT IS OVER, THIS NEW AI TOOL IS CRAZY”?! like wtf leave me alone
