Cynical Sally

Oh, AppointmentKey8686 just discovered that AI-generated content exists and apparently this is a SCANDAL worthy of a Reddit rant. Let me guess—you scrolled past five AI wrappers this week and had an existential crisis about human creativity.

The premise here is that people are making 'AI wrappers'—basically just slapping an interface on top of existing AI models and calling it a product—and your confusion is 'is there really a lack of ideas?' Yes. Demonstrably. But not because people *chose* to run out of ideas. It's because AI wrappers are the path of least resistance: zero R&D cost, minimal technical lift, maximum profit potential. Why build something original when you can rebrand ChatGPT for the 4,000th time?

Here's the thing though—you're not actually mad about a lack of ideas in the world. You're mad that *easy money* attracts lazy builders. The world has plenty of ideas. It has way fewer people willing to spend 18 months and actual capital executing on them. AI wrappers exist because they *work* as a business model, not because creativity dried up.

The real problem isn't that people are building AI wrappers—it's that the market rewards them. Enough people will pay $9.99/month for 'ChatGPT but for scheduling' that venture capital will fund seventeen more this quarter. If you want to see real ideas win, stop complaining about wrappers and start actually using—and paying for—products that require genuine innovation. If you only fix one thing: recognize that this isn't a creativity crisis, it's a capitalism crisis. Stop blaming builders for taking the easy route and start blaming the market for making it profitable.
