I don’t get why people are thinking along these lines at all. Like, if you don’t own and control the LLM yourself, what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all? They could make advertising externally or hosting external marketplaces against the TOS. They could copy your GPT and put their “official” version at the top of the store page. Just because a technology is powerful does not necessarily mean you can make money off of it.

I don’t think we’re going to see anything like the “manage an indie app as a lifestyle business” boom we saw back then, and I expect the consolidation that killed off most of those indie devs will happen way faster this time.
