I think you might be on the right track but the guy says that in his dream world the user only pays once. That’s the same thing that’s happening now. I neither know nor care how much OpenAIWrapperApp is paying for its API usage. I just get billed by OpenAIWrapperApp for the amount they charge.

You can forward user keys to OpenAI on behalf of a user as a dev.

Maybe there’s a world where it’s like bring your own keys and pay $3-$5 for my UX work and could rental delivering that to you.

I also see a world where web app devs shift to distributing free self hosted versions of products; new tools like CLAY make transitioning from web dev UI to local GUI pretty easy :)
