This is a tempting (and not completely false) shortcut, but often you don’t compete for customer’s wallets. For many companies, a lower price is often not the reason they switch.

They stay because of the time invested in the current solution, the integration in their pipelines etc.

One only compete against his own costs.

If you need $1M/y in subscriptions to build your software, you'll be outcompete by solos who needs $60k/y and don't care about the 100% churn of a one-time fee.

This is simply market optimization when the marginal cost of producing the good falls.

GTP-4 acts as a reminder the value is not in programming but in the things you create with.

In an ideal world, you even not coding to achieve things that help others. Today it's required but it's not the point of a valuable product.

Interesting! Perhaps in the future, the default behavior (for mass market targets) will be to open the OpenAI mobile app and ask for anything. With plugins to perform specialized tasks?

I agree with you; the more time passes, the harder it is to differentiate from a generalist AI coupled with specialized plugins.

That said, it does activate a lot of opportunities to be part of this future plugin ecosystem.

As a watch enthusiast, I've always considered Horology as an art and a philosophy of a job well done.

I quickly noticed that beyond their artistic and mechanical aspects that show the insane amount of work behind the scene, luxury watches rarely see their value decreasing over time.

So here are my favorites watches to consider for investing in 2022, your feedback is welcome!
