> Everyone describes AI apps the same way: "Cursor for X."

First time I hear this phrase, and I’ve read a healthy amount of articles about AI.

warthog · 1h ago

My experience, particularly over X, has been "Cursor for X"

Maybe you can do a search at YC startups page and see it there as well.

The author complains about model picker drop “complexity”, then follows up with an example about how the insurance industry prices their products.

They conclude by asserting that ai-adjacent apps should “get rid of that damn model picker” and “be more like insurance”. As if the insurance industry wasn’t one of the most predatory, parasitic, scummy and user-hostile industries out there.

Please don’t follow this advice, we don’t need _more_ opacity and insurance-like companies.

I also personally think think that the “point it at the mosh of your choice” mechanism will only become _more_ popular, not less.

I do agree the transparency often is good for the user. However, only when it matters to them.

For developers, the model picker is the right choice because we do care about it. For more mainstream "normie" users - not so much.
