It was a huge mistake to monetize GPTs. I and many other AI enthusiasts would have probably developed plenty of useful GPTs for free. But now I would never bother because nobody will see my projects under all the SEO spam and fake ratings.
- ilaksh 3y agoWhen you say it's monetized, are they actually giving anyone any money? The details of that were to "to be announced" but I haven't heard any announcement.
- Implicated 3y agoIt seems that just the 'threat' of monetizing it would cause an absolute flood of GPTs to be launched, under the assumption that they would eventually get paid.
- MattDaEskimo 3y agoHave to disagree. When OpenAI didn't provide a method of revenue for plugins they were plagued with third-party paywall services
- pants2 3y agoPlug-ins are a bit different because someone needed to host a backend for it. Most GPTs are fully hosted by OpenAI.
- vasco 3y agoIt's the fastest growth product in number of users in the history of the internet, to think they wouldn't run the Apple store playbook as much as possible is naive.
- creesch 3y agoThat and even if they had proper reviews in place, there is no telling when they would pull the plug on the entire thing. Based on that alone I never even considered making a GPT for sale. Having said that, I do like them because of the openAPI integration. I made one for myself that can send things to a private discord channel through webhooks and can calls my memo instance (https://github.com/usememo https://github.com/usememo) to store or retrieve memos.
