I just tried in Portuguese, and it introduces itself as ChatGPT. I was going to ask what can this do that ChatGPT can’t, but no need to answer now I guess.

Did it? It uses an openAI (gpt) model. I should refine the prompt. Thanks for the feedback!

    The deeper issue is that your product is one of many chatGPT wrappers with no unique hook, not that users can find out you're one of many chatGPT wrappers with no unique hook.

      This is only a problem to other sausage makers who feel the competition cheated.

      Real users get won't care so long as it works.

        Very curious to know where you have been in the last few years for your to regard openai.com/chat as something known only to specialists and wholesalers. To stick with the sausage-making analogy: this is like someone selling costco hotdogs in the parking lot out of the back of a van for 25% markup because they pre-squeezed the ketchup on it.

        How many people in the costco parking lot do you think there are that want costco hotdogs but are unaware of the existence of costco, costco hotdogs, ketchup, and what they cost?

        but users do care eventually. they just don’t yet have the vocabulary that “other sausage makers” do. dismissing these concerns implies that outcomes matter and provenance doesn’t, which may be convenient if you’re building wrappers, but it’s corrosive if you care about ecosystems, incentives, and long-term quality when the app is compared to others in the market.

        that app is not the only app in the market that focuses on conversation. feedback like this is worth taking seriously rather than waving off.
