All of this can be summed up as "The Race to Zero"
If you make a product or a SaaS product and try to charge a dime for it, eventually 30 other competitors of the same service will offer a free version of your service + 1 or 3 things that they expect you to upgrade for.
Now sure some may say this is "market validation" however looking at this, why would I use any of their products when as you said there is no competitive moat anymore and I can just copy the SaaS end to end in one shot for free with AI.
Indeed, I am still perplexed at YC going so heavily for the 'GPT wrappers'. Clearly some are going to help generate quick wins.
As soon as the tools and capabilities are more widespread across developers, I think there will be a larger wave of 'intrapreneurship' easily solving many problems. In some of my consulting I've been specifically trying to help with this. Many larger companies already have the talent and understand their processes sufficiently to whip up solutions in timeframes that actually make more sense than going to external vendors. Sort of like the anti-YC, heh.

You have to be more creative...
