So i guess the next wave of startups has been killed. I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?
Thin wrappers around anything never make much sense. They're trivially replaceable.

#62The cynical me thinks the point of calling these GPTs is a ploy to trademark the term "GPT".
Re: GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
#63Any word on when the GPTs will be available?

#64https://chat.openai.com/gpts/editor "You do not currently have access to this feature"
Probably a staged rollout once again leaving people outside of the US wait.
Re: GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
#65Fuck that, release your models and let the "community" (of unpaid volunteers) freely use and own what they create

#66I think I speak for a few of us AI Doomers here when I say that this makes me excited and terribly anxious at the same time. So... well done OpenAI :). Great news, and a great feature! I have no doubt that this will immensely increase uptake among the less technically literate, since it will allow the techy people in their life (or on the app store) to introduce them with much less friction. It'll be like the little…
You clearly aren't much of a doomer yet. There is nothing exciting about a looming catastrophe.
If the catastrophe is mega-corps getting to monopolize a valuable technology because people saw The Terminator and thought it was a documentary then any announcement from OpenAI is bad news.
Re: GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
#67I have been utilising GPT to create my own app, and now openAI wants to be the only app that matters. I’m not sure whether I should be excited or not :/
Every prompt you put in somebody else's LLM goes into the training set of the next iteration of said LLM, with the explicit purpose of replacing you as a cognitively, and therefore economically, relevant entity. The only dignified move is not to play, though it's a very difficult choice. It probably not a winning move, though at this point there are no obvious winning moves -- you and I and all our loved ones will be…

#68I’m very excited about all the new developments but must say that they really dropped the ball on marketing this one. The feature name is ambiguous and unsearchable.

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thoughts on Zapier trying to become OpenAI faster than OpenAPI can become Zapier? There will always be a long tail of APIs that folks want integrating, but the most popular APIs are perhaps only a few hundred in number (Google Calendar and Slack, for example).
I feel like history has shown that those who own the platform end up winning and in this case OpenAI's platform of models seems much harder to recreate. My guess is this would lead to Zapier using OpenAI as a platform and eventually OpenAI would re-create Zapier's integrations before the other way around.
I think this perspective is fair and historically accurate wrt platform risk, but I also strongly believe Zapier has substantial value beyond what historically has been acting as a conduit between APIs. Customers don't want a pipe between their services, they want to automate their mundane work with a robot.
Re: GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
#70I 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 not clear who the market is? Why someone buy one?
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!
