The release of plugins was underwhelming for a lot of users, I wonder if they're worried about the same thing happening again. I had fun making a plugin when they were first announced but the developer experience was clunky and frustrating, and there was a lot of confusion around how the plugin store actually worked.<p>I haven't made the time to convert my plugin into a GPT but I'm planning to, hopefully it'll be a bit of a smoother experience this go around.
Still dont understand why anyone would "pay" for this. The default model will probably be better in pretty much all cases. I guess if someone randomly has some sort of esoteric knowledge? Seems very limited.
Is anyone actively using custom GPTs? I've really tried to find a compelling use case but every thing I can think of is much better off as a simple system prompt you just copy and prepend (since it's easier to modify it, and it becomes more transparent).
My first thought when hearing about an "app store" or whatever this is: hopefully it's not inundated with garbage apps and marketing gimmicks.<p>I also think there's a risk of GPTs becoming so opaque as to not clearly understand any of their value
the customized GPTs are honestly a let down<p>you can't do anything fun with them, and that's not because it isn't possible but because openai is afraid to step outside of the safety zone. the response style really doesn't change much, default behavior leaks into everything so easily<p>what were they expecting?
If the surprise announce at dev day of custom GPTs* for money** was why Quora board member also running Poe got mad enough to oust Altman, perhaps this would be what Altman conceded to him in order to let Altman back (along with letting him keep his seat).<p>* Custom GPTs: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/10/poes-ai-chatbot-app-now-lets-you-make-your-bots-using-prompts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/10/poes-ai-chatbot-app-now-le...</a><p>** Monetization: <a href="https://developer.poe.com/resources/creator-monetization" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.poe.com/resources/creator-monetization</a>
