OpenAI today updated their Usage Policy to include the GPT Store: https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies > We want to make sure that GPTs in the GPT Store are appropriate for all users. For example, GPTs that contain profanity in their names or that depict or promote graphic violence are not allowed in our Store. We also don’t allow GPTs dedicated to fostering romantic companionship or performing regulated activi…

I wonder what the reasoning is for banning "romantic companionship."

have a look at what people are using LLMs for at r/locallama and r/sillytavern.

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.

ChatGPT+ is so very ridiculously valuable I'm shocked people still complain about it costing $20 a month. I would still pay for ChatGPT+ at $200 a month because it saves me so much time. If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it.

I think this is proof no matter how little you charge people, they will always complain -- so ignore the complaints and increase your prices.

"Hey do you want an AI assistant more knowledgeable than any human?" "Yes!" "Will you pay $20 for it?" "NOOO!!"

My best use case so far has been to make GPTs for a particular tech stack specific to a project I might be working on for a couple months. Saves a lot of re-prompting to build context. Seems like they understand this type of use case as valuable since they allowed internal-facing GPTs you can share in the Teams setup. So you could easily create a GPT with access to an internal wiki, code, project context, business processes, etc.

whats your process for doing this now? do you just upload a markdown/pdf file or do you give it some connection to a notion/wiki page via functions?

It's different because they're stealing what you discover under the guise of partnership. (Assuming it's true)

IMHO "barrier to entry" implies success and not mere existence. It's like barrier to entry into singing, everyone can sing but the barrier to entry into singing career is actually quite high. Very few things have true barrier to entry and its mostly about purchasing an equipment or license.

That's only if there's a curator/gate keeper like radio stations or major record labels and their marketing budgets (continuing your analogy). Soundcloud has zero barrier to entry so it becomes too flooded with mediocre work to be very useful unless you already know your destination or there is a powerful ranking/discovery feature. The music industry existed long before the internet came on the scene so there are man…

i mean. wasnt billie eilish discovered on soundcloud? how did that happen? anecdotally feel like somehow soundcloud has solved discovery in a way that is opaque to me as a casual

I wonder if people can create apps that simply use ChatGTP as a "frontend wrapper". In other words, have the app simply make an API call to your own API, which does NOT use OpenAI at all.

Sort of the opposite of making an OpenAI wrapper

Running an app store for consumers just seems wayyyy off course from their stated goal of building AGI. Running any kind of two-sided marketplace with paying customers is quite a big undertaking, I just can't see how this is the best use of their resources and attention if they want to pursue their mission.
