Microsoft has released Loop. Could this lead to an AI hegemony and a monopoly in a different way?🤔

Regardless of how much it knows, I agree with @oleksandr_koreniuk - they're still statistical tools. We are all more data driven so of course that has huge value, but ultimately empathy, bias, critical thinking are not here. General AI - well, it is still hard to imagine we don't hit a wall at some point as we did with self-driving cars, flying cars, etc. The general public can only take so much bot action and GPT4/Bard/CoPilot etc because every person is unique, bottom line. Using it as a tool, no doubt. Using for very serious decision that require all kinds of context and backstory is a long way off, doubtful all that soon. IMO but I understand the tremendous value and velocity of iteration at the moment.

There are so many actors in this, it is really hard for a monopoly.

In my opinion, no one should worry much since those tools are autocomplete statistical programs without reasoning. I think it is just the dev tools' iterative evolution. AGI would revolutionize, no doubt.

OpenAI just released their plugin capabilities today, making it seem like the appstore for iPhones has arrived. It's becoming more and more like an operating system. Meanwhile, Microsoft keeps releasing new products daily, but other companies are struggling to catch up in the short term. 🔥

Not really. We have Google and Apple as competitors. Plus, with how it's getting easier and easier to train models locally, we're going to see other smaller companies rushing to fill the gaps evoke-app.com is one of them, focusing on image generation

From the first look at loop, it seems a Notion rip off, how much I am right ?
