Let's see if startups solely basing their entire business on someone else's API (i.e. ChatGPT) will actually learn their lesson since OpenAI can also compete against their own partners and undercut them.

So far my predictions on OpenAI for 2023 [0] have become very accurate and expected but happened surprisingly early. From their investment [1] to pricing the ChatGPT API [2] and now I will expect OpenAI to start competing against their partners as I said in [0].

The only way to compete against OpenAI is an open-source version of ChatGPT.

Yes, that is the right way to think about it. It should be used to enhnace current experiences, not create new ones. If you do not have an existing experience to enhance, and create new experience entirely based on API like GPT, your only differentiation is the prompt basically.

Luckily, this is happening. Current efforts are probably ~1 year behind.
