OpenAI plans to reward individuals who create the most widely used chatbots
OpenAI has introduced a significant development in the world of AI with the introduction of GPTs, allowing individuals to create their own customized versions of the popular conversational AI system, ChatGPT. This innovation goes hand in hand with the upcoming launch of the GPT Store, where users can publish their custom GPTs and potentially earn money through them. OpenAI's approach signifies a shift towards a more open AI marketplace, empowering users to leverage AI tools for various purposes.
Creating GPTs requires no coding experience, making it accessible to a broad audience. Users can develop GPTs tailored to specific tasks or domains, such as a recipe assistant, a fantasy series encyclopedia, or even a code-checking tool for developers. The process of customizing GPTs involves conversational interaction, making it easy for users to define their desired behavior.
OpenAI's GPT Store, set to launch soon, will serve as a platform for distributing and monetizing GPTs. Creations by verified builders will be featured in the store, searchable, and ranked based on their utility. OpenAI plans to reward creators with a share of the revenue generated by the most popular and useful GPTs, adopting a model similar to app stores, like Apple's, which has been highly successful. However, it remains to be seen how this strategy will evolve, including the possibility of direct charging for GPTs and potential competition with industry giants like Apple and Microsoft, which also have their own AI initiatives. The future of this dynamic landscape will be intriguing to observe.
