Title should be : If you have a dumb idea powering your startup, expect to get “blown up”

https://www-businessinsider-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.businessinsider.com/openai-chatgpt-pdfs-ai-startups-wrappers-2023-10?amp I don’t share articles on Blind often, the last one might’ve been a year ago, but this title really annoyed me somehow. Making it sound like Big Tech is evil for putting a feature out there which is so obvious and braindead and yet it managed to kill your cutting edge AI startup - probably called ChatPDF AI or Extract AI or some shit.

I thought raising interest rates was supposed to kill these dumb startups

Google the_stoic OP Nov 2, 2023

But that might kill the good startups too. I was specifically talking about startups with stupid ideas and moat to speak of

Dumb idea is not fatal. Bad execution is.

Google the_stoic OP Nov 2, 2023

Maybe dumb is not the right word. Lazy is the word I should have used. If your startup idea is so low-effort, whether it’s dumb or not, it will get disrupted and blown up easily. Either by OpenAI or someone else

The Idea really does not matter. When you have made it work it will not dumb or lazy anymore.
