Do you think being called a "GPT wrapper" is still an insult, or has that changed?

There is definitely way to build a moat around a "GPT wrapper": - Create a great User interface (particularly offer the option to edit and iterate on the AI result) - Combine GPT with a specific data set (as a fan of web scraping that is usually my go to).

I guess it depends, if you're profiling a business as something that is developing cutting edge AI but in reality just uses other tools wrapped in a new jacket - it's not an insult but perhaps an indication to not convolute what the product really is. Ultimately if it can add value to users by leveraging GPT's, it's all good and there is a good reason to exist. I personally also take some issue with all the "AI" companies that didn't develop any actual AI but are applying tools developed by other companies yet are profiling themselves as cutting edge AI companies.

it's all about the end product, as long as it works and helps me with what I need, I don't really care whether it's a "GPT wrapper" or something else

I guess if you're adding value—like unique workflows, insights, or automation—it's no longer an insult but a sign you're leveraging AI effectively.

Who cares? If your product solve the problem and provide a value - nobody cares what wrapper do you use.

Not something you want to be called
