I’m surely missing something but if a company A creates an API for chatgpt, pretty much giving away all its capabilities to some company B (chatgpt), risking getting cannibalised in the process, what is the gain? I mean surely in the short term is the the fear or becoming irrelevant if it misses out the chatgpt hype (will it?), but if the risk of end up becoming a permanent client of chatgpt in the sense that I’m outsourcing the entire value of my company and in fact becoming a hostage of it, trapped, then why do it?
