Looks neat, but note that OpenAI is basically an App Store model - whatever you make with it cannot be shown to more than five people unless OpenAI has reviewed and explicitly approved your project. And their usage guidelines are pretty narrow - "open-ended chatbots" are explicitly disallowed, for example.

This is cool but I'm hesitant to invest any real amount of time building something on this. How do I know that if I build something massively successful they wont shut off my access and build a competitor?

Or change their TOS to effectively ban your product, as they did with AI Dungeon.

Yea, this made me look to alternatives and I mainly use Huggingface instead. I don't want to wake up one day and learn that a side project got rejected by a higher power and I have to write a HN post to get my account unlocked.

You don't know. Ask the countless iOS developers who gave thousands of dollars only to be rejected.

Or banned because they want a monopoly on a type of App.

I've moved completely to open source, at least you don't need to worry about losing access.

That's horrible! Why would anyone build anything with OpenAI when they can shut you down so wantonly?

Is there a writeup on this?

I think the thing to do is build proof of concept level stuff with this. If you hit on something that has potential you can rebuild it with an alternative model.
