Every time OpenAI comes up with a new product, and a new interaction mechanism / UX and low and behold, others copy the same, sometimes leveraging the same name as well.<p>Happened with ChatGPT - a chat oriented way to use Gen AI models (phenomenal success and a right level of abstraction), then code interpreter, the talking thing (that hasnt scaled somehow), the reasoning models in chat (which i feel is a confusing UX when you have report generators, and a better ux would be just keep editing source prompt), and now deep research. [1] Yes, google did it first, and now Open AI followed, but what about so many startups who were working on similar problems in these verticals?<p>I love how openai is introducing new UX paradigms, but somehow all the rest have one idea which is to follow what they are doing? Only thing outside this I see is cursor, which i think is confusing UX too, but that's a discussion for another day.<p>[1]: I am keeping Operator/MCP/browser use out of this because 1/ it requires finetuning on a base model for more accurate results 2/ Admittedly all labs are working on it separately so you were bound to see the similar ideas.
