As far as UX, and a product, chatGPT is terrible! Astounding and blows my mind for a 80+b dollar company. The model and tech (and team) is that value of course, but how can't they at the very most basic level, clean up the 'sidebar'. Prompts search and GPT labelling. Even when they had the plugins, most ppl didn't know you had to click on the GPT4 button to revial, because why would they...nothing indicated to (like…

This says a lot more about the state of the frontend ecosystem than it does about the OpenAI dev team. The complexity has gotten absurdly out of control. It's really quite ironic that on one hand, we've got a company on the cusp of developing a superintelligence, and a bunch of open source models lagging not too far behind. But on the other hand, you've gotta install it all with Python - and good luck, because nobody…

Are we calling language models "super intelligences" now?

Is anyone actively using custom GPTs? I've really tried to find a compelling use case but every thing I can think of is much better off as a simple system prompt you just copy and prepend (since it's easier to modify it, and it becomes more transparent).

I created one for my HOA. I uploaded bylaws, rules, assignments and made instructions for using them for policy. Eg. "What parking spaces are assigned to unit 123?" So far, I'm impressed and it's useful. BUT $20/mon is a deal killer and I don't know if the GPT Store will make it more affordable for our community.

Too few people know this is the most relevant comment on this post.

Can you expand? I know nothing.

Adam d'Angelo[1] who is on the board is also the founder of a commercial AI startup called Poe which lots of people are claiming is a conflict of interest given openAI are moving into a space that seems adjacent/overlapping. Sam Altman said Adam is one of openAI's biggest customers and its helpful to have the customer perspective on the board.

That’s a peculiar way to spin it.. not sure how doesn’t that justify poor UX though (what does this even have to do with python)

> but it's slow development and disconnected

It’s as slow and disconnected as they want it to be

On top of that the CTO has a product, not engineering background. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

but the president was the CTO of Stripe

Who I understand has no reports and mostly codes, but yes he is tight with Sam and undoubtedly has a big influence over strategy.

This is not where I originally read it, but it will do[1]:

"A person familiar with the situation said OpenAI's board appreciated having the perspective of a customer like Quora among its directors."

Still dont understand why anyone would "pay" for this. The default model will probably be better in pretty much all cases. I guess if someone randomly has some sort of esoteric knowledge? Seems very limited.

They work OK if you don't set your expectations too high.
