However, OpenAI faces challenges such as low traffic for custom GPTs and moderation issues. Custom GPTs account for only about 2.7% of ChatGPT’s worldwide web traffic, and this has been declining since November. The GPT Store also faced issues with inappropriate chatbot apps, including sexually suggestive and politically campaigning bots, which violated OpenAI's terms. OpenAI, which uses a mix of human and automated review to flag GPTs, has removed some of these apps.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI is encouraging the use of GPTs in third-party apps by allowing ChatGPT users to bring them into any conversation by typing '@' and selecting a GPT from the list.
- The GPTs will have an understanding of the full conversation and can be used for different use cases and needs.
- OpenAI has launched the GPT Store, a marketplace for GPTs that can be accessed through the ChatGPT dashboard, and plans to introduce monetization for developers who wish to sell access to their GPTs.
- OpenAI is facing challenges with moderation, as the GPT Store has seen a flood of inappropriate chatbot apps, including sexually suggestive and politically campaigning bots, which violate OpenAI's terms.
