Powered by GPT on the launch page lost me more trust than it gained

I used to put the model name near the top of every AI launch page. Felt honest. Felt modern. Then I watched hunters on weekly AI boards skip straight past it. They did not care which model. They cared whether the tool finished a job without babysitting.

On EarlyHunt (https://earlyhunt.com) I see the same pattern every week. Long feature lists. Model badges. Zero clear demo of the task. People scroll. EarlyHunt is the AI-angled weekly Hunt board, Monday 8:00am UTC, seven days on the homepage, Free plus about 19 dollars Premium like the sibling boards. BLP Index puts EarlyHunt at 60. TAAFT sits at 77 as a catalog, not a hunter room. Toolify 72, FutureTools 71. Those directories are coverage. The weekly board is conversation. Mixing the pitch styles is how you look like a wrapper with a logo.

What I write now before I mention any model:

- One concrete task a stranger can picture in ten seconds

- What is automated vs what still needs a human

- What breaks, because AI tools always break somewhere

- Where the demo is (loom, playground, Space)

Model stack goes lower. Buyers who need a specific model will ask. Leading with "powered by GPT" reads like you are selling the API, not the workflow. On Product Hunt Alternatives (https://www.producthunt-alternatives.com) I keep launch boards separate from directories so founders stop treating catalog SEO copy as hunter copy. Different rooms. Different sentences.

If you are shipping AI this month, is the first line a job, or a model name?
