I wonder if I have just seen the future. A movement away from mobile apps (and some aspects of websites), to apps in an AI model?

Can’t say I'm unhappy to see the authoritarian duopoly of the existing app stores challenged.

One question that comes to mind is how will multiple providers of similar products and services be recommended/discovered? Perhaps they wont be recommended, but just listed instead as currently done by search engines. Is AISO our future - AI Search Optimization?

Like "Abort, Retry, Fail"? And same as there, what's the difference between the first and the third? Is there a way of accepting a new sdk every week without specializing?

Specializing means bypassing the problem. Accepting means welcoming or acquiescing.

I don't understand, how can you acquiesce to a situation whereby "As a developer everything changes every week"? Not even the most "on the bleeding edge" JS developers can switch frameworks every week, and the pace is continuously accelerating. As I see it, the only way to stay sane and productive is to specialize to a sub-area where you can stick to a technology for at (the very) least 3 months.

I'll say it: ChatGPT is better than Kagi, and better than Google Search 1.0 at searching the web and finding relevant sources, even if that is all you use it for is to just find links that you read. Usually its analysis is sound if I don't know anything about the subject matter.

My 5 year-old nephew's analysis is also sound when you don't know anything about the subject matter

Does your 5 year-old nephew understand sarcasm?

I'll bet $100 they're seeing an opportunity to dethrone Google as the entrance point to the web and this is a big part of it. It feels like OpenAI's mission has changed from "We want to do do AGI" to "it'll be easier to do AGI with a lot of money, so let's make a lot of money first" to "we have a shot at becoming bigger than Google and stealing their revenue. Let's do that and maybe do AGI if that ever works out"

I don’t think openai is that goal oriented around AGI whatever their posturing may be. They have to cash in eventually and are probably trying to figure out a pathway to a viable business.

I agree with you. Just disappointing that it's just another company slowly abandoning their mission in favor of profits.

If you are not sure, you don't need it. If you get to understand the usefulness of MCP, then you might find a use for it.

well i was responding to person who was asking me "what a better way over mcp" to interact with your product. looks like you inserted yourself with your usual one line non sequiturs. BOT.

Person you were responding to here. You do have a solid point/question. To be completely honest: my original thinking was that for once, I am going to go with the flow on something like this. I often fight inertia, but this felt like a bad thing to do it on.

Now, I realize that the best argument for MCP vs function calls in my case, is that I want to allow external products/agents/chatbots to interface with my app. MCP is that standard. I will implement very carefully, but that's what I need to do.

This is honestly useful. "Find me hotels in Capetown that have a pool by the beach .Should cost between 200 dollars to 800 dollars a night "

I think the future is that models will not be able to answer that well, because sites will move to protect their data/content.

Instead, the model will provide you with a list of (in chat) “apps” that can fulfill your request. SEO becomes AISO (AI Search Optimization). Sites can partly expose data to entice you to choose them.
