GPT-3 is just the enabling technology, what you do with the tool is where a company differentiates itself.

The key argument the article and your comment is making is that GPT-3 is the moat. There’s so much more to a company than just a piece of tech implemented within in.

Network effect and data collection are growth loops that exist separately from the technology and can be effectively layered into a company regardless of the underlying tech.

The clear winner is still OpenAI. Who's to say that established companies can do the exact same thing even with the OpenAI GPT-3 API.

I can see Google doing this and they also have many options here to remain competitive. They too can access this API, Google DeepMind can create another AI as a Service service similar to OpenAI or directly clone your idea as a feature in another product.

OpenAI has now become the AWS of AI services. I won't be suprised to see DeepMind thinking of doing the same thing.
