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 don’t get why people are thinking along these lines at all. Like, if you don’t own and control the LLM yourself, what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all? They could make advertising externally or hosting external marketplaces against the TOS. They could copy your GPT and put their “official” version at the top of the store page. Just because a technology is powerful does not necessarily mean you can make money off of it.

Just the fact that they decided to stay with what is essentially a highly technical acronym i.e. GPT, as their major product line says a lot.

I think that's actually crucial in that they want to trademark this otherwise generic term

Omg… Thinking about their push for regulation with this… Are they after something like keeping advanced generative pretrained transformer LLM model technology to themselves, prohibiting others, at least in American economy where regulations can be applied?

> I wonder how much money ... I saw that announcement and my immediate thought was "God yet another thing passive income youtubers will be shilling soon" In general, I was a little confused by this. Sam's demo of creating a GPT didn't seem particularly exciting as well.

OpenAI in a weird way has mediocre marketing. The examples they use for Dalle-3 are way worse than the average ones I see people cooking up on Twitter/Reddit. They only seem to demo the most vaguely generic implementations of their app. Even their DevDay logo is just 4 lines of text.

Sam's "all our marketing is from word-of-mouth" was refreshingly honest.

"Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users to try out including Canva and Zapier AI Actions." and yet as a paying ChatGPT Plus customer, neither the Canva nor the Zapier AI Actions link work for me, I get a "GPT inaccessible or not found" error for Canva or Zapier.

I have the same issue, my guess is they are still rolling out.

Edit: here is the message I get:

Your access to custom GPTs isn’t ready yet. We’re rolling this feature out over the coming days. Check back soon.

not much based on what OpenAI has been doing lately, using their own customers as product research and then copying the best ideas. OpenAI pretty much has to keep a huge lead in model capabilities or developers are going to stop using them for this reason

basically copying the Microsoft strategy of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Makes sense they took so much funding from Microsoft

Need some Boston Dynamics flair.

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.

More specifically, it seems like a RAG (retrieval augmented generation) system than fine tuning.

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

ChatWithPDF made a TON of money, for one.
