AI wrappers vs. AI slappers: Who's really building?

We’ve all heard about "AI wrappers", people who take an AI API, put a simple UI on top, and call it a product. But let’s talk about the next level: AI slappers.

These are the folks who slap AI onto everything, whether it makes sense or not. Need a to-do list? Boom, AI-powered. Want a weather app? Here’s one with GPT describing the rain in Shakespearean prose. Got a basic form? AI chatbot included, whether you like it or not.

The question is: Are they innovating, or just riding the AI hype wave?

At what point does adding AI actually improve a product versus just being a gimmick?
