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.

To be fair, the name "ChatGPT" has quite a bit of mindshare and I've found many non-technical folks referring to any generative AI product as "ChatGPT" or "GPT". Yet, if you asked any single one of them what "GPT" stood for, they'd have no clue.

Several family members firmly believe GPT stands for Gepeto.

Jasper becoming a project management suite in an oversaturated PM market is an odd move.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yeah not sure if it’s a good type of thick, but it definitely ain’t thin.

Jasper was cited in a recent TechCrunch article about the obvious vulnerability of the API wrapper startup business model. I guess we could argue at length about the thickness of the wrapper, but that seems unproductive.

Imagine a "GPT" that could generate websites and provide you with a live deployment as you change it using natural language. A website builder GPT that is primed to output and design in a decent way, that has all the prep beforehand to use particular libraries, and integrations with something like Render. People would pay for that. Sh--... I better build it!

One can come up with all sorts of ideas like this, but building it will be a matter of slow iterations at prompt engineering in a mixture of natural language and data structures and will be at the whim of changing APIs, including the backing ChatGPT model. Sounds messy, hard to manage, hard to test...or am I missing what the actual process will be for creating one of these?

Yeah building a LLM get you to 92% in a week and then the rest of the 8% is years of slogging at corner cases.

I’m not clear who the market is? Why someone buy one?

You could farm the hell out of referral link before people catch up. Prob already too late, but there's a lot of market that's searching comparatives and would be fooled by this.

In the blog, they say

> we’re launching the GPT Store, featuring creations by verified builders

Any idea who these “verified” builders are, how they are selected and how to submit a GPT that gets selected in the rollout?

I don't think the target market for this is people looking for extremely knowledgeable LLMs that can handle deep technical tasks, given that you can't even finetune these models. I'd guess this is more of an attempt to poach the market of companies like character.ai. The market for models with a distinct character/personality is absolutely massive right now (see: app store rankings) and users are willing to spend ins…

Can you elaborate a bit on why you think the market for distinct character/personality models is massive right now?

I ask only because I've been asked by a fairly well-known GAI company to help them 'personality-ize' some of their models and I'm trying to understand who else is doing it, where, and why – namely because I'd like to keep doing it.

- Guy who doesn't read books or browse artwork.

How much something is valued is determined by how much others are willing to give up for it, and looking at artist salaries it’s already not much. Whether or not I browse artwork would make little difference. Trying to attack me for pointing out that something else does the job better doesn’t improve your value proposition at all.

The point is that you are required to have poorly refined taste if you feel that machine learning's literary output is remotely competitive with skilled authors.

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'm more confused how the revenue share works. Do they get part of my ChatGPT subscription fee? Am I paying extra? Per bot? Per amount of time I consult with the bot?

I'm certain of one thing...when I'm making a GPT, I save, I update and it completely disregards established rules, making me max out my requests very fast. It also gives general answers when I ask for specifics. I only have Plus. In regards to general answers...I then went to Bard and got exactly what I was looking for after 1 request-this is well known information that's been online for years, information that Bing certainly has...it was making me angry, basically charging me for doing nothing over and over.

For instance, my GPT is based on a list of 15 items. I had to repeatedly tell it not to deviate from the list because it kept doing so. I save and update every time, and it never matters.

Custom GPTs are fine but they’re sort of useless. Since anyone wanting to use a custom GPT has to have a ChatGPT Plus account, they themselves can spin up an even more targeted, even better prompt than anything you could come up with and use that instead. Unless your custom gpt provides some special bells and whistles through functions or APIs, your custom gpt ideas are going to r copied by someone who can spin up th…

Trying to make myself learn Python, but it's slow going. Sometimes simpler is better though, so I don't completely write off tinkering.
