The fact that everything is Cursor for X gives me the ick.  Like gimme a Google for X.  Or Uber for X

GPT wrappers are the memecoin minters of AI. "Pumpfun for X" 🫠

next is a meta GPT wrappers:

cursor for creating your own cursor for XYZ

product designers are the architects of software.

architects create blueprints, instructions for others to hit hammer to nail.

what if architects could create blueprints for cranes, instead?

Every idea eventually simplifies down to Cursor

The other observation YC had is that X for Y is timely and more representative of the state of the brand. The fact that people use Cursor as the X is indicative of Cursor's success as a brand. Once they stop using Cursor to describe themselves, that's also important signal.
