I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time. Barrier to entry is nonexistent so I imagine highest revenue ones if this becomes a serious thing people use will be advertised externally or have some proprietary info/access.

I agree. Anyone with factual data (proprietary or not) is now an input away to AI / GPTs. Data (or a new foundational model) is now the moat.

What sort of data do you think will be the most valuable to input to AI?

Is this basically them deploying fine tuned models? It wouldn't be very interesting to just be using custom prompts.

> Is this basically them deploying fine tuned models?

From the description of the past outside practice it is marketed as moving into OpenAI's offering, it sounds more like its custom prompts, not fine-tuned models.

I have been utilising GPT to create my own app, and now openAI wants to be the only app that matters. I’m not sure whether I should be excited or not :/

Every prompt you put in somebody else's LLM goes into the training set of the next iteration of said LLM, with the explicit purpose of replacing you as a cognitively, and therefore economically, relevant entity. The only dignified move is not to play, though it's a very difficult choice. It probably not a winning move, though at this point there are no obvious winning moves -- you and I and all our loved ones will be…

I think all technological revolutions have caused similar transformations which obsolete certain types of activities and push novel activities to the forefront.

Not playing is certainly possible but could be a losing strategy as well.

I think I speak for a few of us AI Doomers here when I say that this makes me excited and terribly anxious at the same time. So... well done OpenAI :). Great news, and a great feature! I have no doubt that this will immensely increase uptake among the less technically literate, since it will allow the techy people in their life (or on the app store) to introduce them with much less friction. It'll be like the little…

You clearly aren't much of a doomer yet. There is nothing exciting about a looming catastrophe.

How many people made any money from the plugins for ChatGPT?

Plugins failing was more due to lack of visibility, which a GPT Store does solve.

I like to think about it from the perspective of the far future, looking back on me as a historical actor. I have no idea what will happen exactly, of course, but I can't imagine a moral/social crisis of the past where "cross your fingers and hope it goes away" is a move I'd approve of...

That said, your worry is one I definitely share. I guess I just hope more people think of ways they can try to ride/shape this wave, rather than stop/weather it.

Posting from another comment in a different thread, everything that is new from OpenAI developer day:

  - Context length extended to 128k (~300 pages).
  - Better memory retrieveal across a longer span of time
  - 4 new APIs: DALLE-3, GPT-4-vision, TTS (speech synthesis), and Whisper V3 (speech recognition).
  - GPT-4 Turbo, a more intelligent iteration, confirmed as superior to GPT-4.
  - GPT-4 Turbo pricing significantly reduced, about 3 times less expensive than GPT-4. Input and output tokens are respectively 3× and 2× less expensive than GPT-4. It’s available now to all developers in preview.
  - Improved JSON handling (via JSON mode) and function invocation for more sophisticated control.
  - Doubled rate limits with the option to request increases in account settings.
  - Built-in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and knowledge current as of April 2023.
  - Whisper V3 to be open-sourced and added to the API suite.
  - Copyright Shield initiative to cover legal fees for copyright-related issues.
  - Ability to create your own, custom "GPTs".
  - Assistants API and new tools (Retrieval, Code Interpreter)
  - 3.5 Turbo 16k now cheaper than old 4k. 0.003c per 1k in / 0.004c per 1k out.
