I don't agree with this word trickery of 'everything is just a wrapper'. The internet, browsers, and rest APIs are much more like scaffolding or 'infrastructure'.
Internet (and/or browser) :: website or webapp
is not the same as
OpenAI/Antropic/model company :: GPT wrapper
There is a substantial qualitative difference, at least at this point.
Yes, saying everything is a REST or database wrapper is ingenuous. I’m sorry, but can my database help me compute sales taxes across all my products? Can it help me conduct performance reviews for all my employees?
On the other hand, ChatGPT can easily help me write content (Jasper/CopyAI) or do company research or write an outreach email (AI sales tools)
