As others in the tech scene have said, it might be hard to find the real valuable GPTs since the barrier to build is so low. At least with the app scene, learning Swift/Javascript/ObjC created a barrier, with ChatGPT store anyone and everyone can create a GPT.

That (fallacious) argument applies to nearly every other "tech" platform, from YouTube to Hacker News.

The barrier being low is not the problem -- the question is how high does the ceiling go. Is this thing capable only of preconfigured prompts based on a customized data upload, or something vastly more?

What is going on with their rollouts or A/B testing or whatever they're doing? They have this big announcement, and yet my paid account doesn't show this functionality at all.

https://chat.openai.com/gpts doesnt load for you?

Shows the same thing as before, the 10 example GPTs that OpenAI made that have been there for months.

It's silly that you can't even see what these things can do without having a $20/mo subscription. They have one line descriptions for each one, but it doesn't really tell you what it actually does. They need to add a feature list and provide some examples for each one of these. There is zero reason for anyone to start a new subscription when you don't even know what the app does.

They should have apple’s policy of try for free for 3-7 days and then it goes to subscriptions.

What are these custom GPTs anyway, just an initial system prompt or does it include some finetuning?

My guess is they are using Embeds to efficiently search a larger corpus of data and picking some data sources that then get injected into the system prompt.

That's how I'm doing it for myself and how many other companies are doing it to enable doc interaction, etc.

Edit: Wish I knew the term RAG (comment next to me mentions it) before going down a rabbit hole of trial and error with the limited amount of info on Embeds

I found this to be useful https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/retrieval-augmented-generatio...

Yeah and Youtube is absolutely swimming in garbage.

Without dang, Hacker News would be too.

It's actually not that low. GPTs allow external functions and the moment you want to do anything interesting you actually need to be able to build it.

For example, if your GPT is going to design and host a webpage for you then you will need to be able to create a service that can talk with that gpt, take its input and deploy it.

Other GPTs that don't require a hard skill might also turn not to be trivial due to prompt engineering. An analogy would be the case of some people being very successful in literary work or on social media and others not so much.

Agreed, to an extent.

These platforms have powerful, refined algorithms to handle the swarm of submissions.

So far there's a single metric of initiated conversations for rankings in the store.

The Plugin Store had no metrics, and was ranked alphabetically, resulting in plugins named "AAAA {plugin name}".

So, historically OpenAI hasn't implement any sort of algorithms
