Greg Gunn, CEO of Commit, expressed confidence in OpenAI's ability to handle the issue, praising their dedication and velocity. He compared the launch of the GPT Store to the 2008 Apple App Store launch, stating that the opportunity is larger due to the accessibility of the platform and the larger user base. However, he also noted that developers who only create simple apps may not be able to protect their work, and that the platform's real potential lies in creating customized enterprise workflows.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI's GPT Store, expected to launch soon, has already raised concerns among developers about the potential for copycat apps, similar to the situation during the Apple App Store gold rush of 2008.
- Developers can currently create custom GPTs and share them with other paying subscribers, leading to worries about unauthorized copying of these GPTs.
- OpenAI's GPT Store is expected to become the main place to distribute GPTs and handle any revenue sharing that may arise, but the company has not yet clarified how developers will get paid.
- Despite concerns, some developers, like Greg Gunn, co-founder and CEO of Commit, are optimistic about the GPT Store, comparing the opportunity to the original iPhone App Store launch and praising OpenAI's dedication and velocity.
