The world of artificial intelligence has just embarked on a groundbreaking transformation with the launch of OpenAI's GPTs and the GPT Store. This revolutionary technology will empower professionals and businesses to harness the power of AI in ways never before possible. We will explore the implications of this launch, the potential for AI automation professionals, and the warning signs regarding OpenAI's platform capture.
The GPT Store: A Treasure Trove of AI Potential
OpenAI's GPT Store, which launched after a few delays, allows users to share their custom chatbots, known as GPTs, with the world. These GPTs can be tailored for specific tasks, making them incredibly versatile and useful in various industries. The store has already seen the creation of more than 3 million GPTs by users.
The GPT Store offers several benefits:
- Revenue Sharing: OpenAI has announced a revenue-sharing program with GPT creators, rewarding the most useful and popular applications. This incentivizes developers to create innovative and valuable GPTs.
- Expanded Ecosystem: The store brings more potential use cases to ChatGPT, expanding OpenAI's ecosystem beyond what was previously possible.
- Weekly Highlights: OpenAI plans to highlight useful GPTs weekly inside the store, showcasing the best and most innovative creations.
The Power of GPTs for Professionals and Businesses
The launch of GPTs and the GPT Store has significant implications for AI automation professionals and businesses:
- Customization: GPTs can be tailored for specific tasks, making them more efficient and effective in various industries.
- Accessibility: The GPT Store allows developers to share their creations with the world, making it easier for businesses to find and implement AI solutions.
- Innovation: The revenue-sharing model encourages developers to create innovative and valuable GPTs, driving the advancement of AI technology.
The Warning Signs: OpenAI Platform Capture
While the GPT Store and GPTs offer immense potential, there are concerns regarding OpenAI's platform capture. The GPT Store is currently only accessible to users who subscribe to OpenAI's paid tiers. This paywall will likely prove disastrous for the business to business agency use case, and could even limit the accessibility of GPTs for the broader public.
As AI professionals and businesses, it is crucial to be aware of these concerns and to advocate for open access to AI technology. By staying informed and engaged in the AI community, we can work together to ensure that the benefits of AI are available to everyone. Unfortunately, OpenAi has rapidly transforming into an information desert with practices that’ll potentially lead to a monopoly on AI technology
In conclusion, the launch of GPTs and the GPT Store marks a significant milestone in the world of AI. As professionals and businesses, we must seize this opportunity to harness the power of AI and drive innovation in our respective industries. However, we must also remain vigilant and advocate for open access to AI technology to ensure that its benefits are available to all.
