Threat
Template-first AI writing tools become easier to copy once high-quality language generation is accessible through an API.
What changed
Text generation stops looking like autocomplete and starts looking like a general-purpose software layer.
GPT-3 is the pre-ChatGPT foundation wave. It made many app ideas feasible, then later made many of those same apps easy to clone.
