OpenAI Launches New Store For Users To Share Custom Chatbots (bloomberg.com) 8
OpenAI has launched an online store where people can share customized versions of the company's popular ChatGPT chatbot, after initially delaying the rollout because of leadership upheaval last year. From a report: The new store, which rolled out Wednesday to paid ChatGPT users, will corral the chatbots that users create for a variety of tasks, for example a version of ChatGPT that can teach math to a child or come up with colorful cocktail recipes. The product, called the GPT Store, will include chatbots that users have chosen to share publicly. It will eventually introduce ways for people to make money from their creations -- much as they might through the app stores of Apple or Alphabet's Google.
Similar to those app stores, OpenAI's GPT Store will let users see the most popular and trending chatbots on a leaderboard and search for them by category. In a blog post announcing the rollout, OpenAI said that people have made 3 million custom chatbots thus far, though it was not clear how many were available through its store at launch. The store's launch comes as OpenAI works to build out its ecosystem of services and find new sources of revenue. On Wednesday, OpenAI also announced a new paid ChatGPT tier for companies with smaller teams that starts at $25 a month per user. OpenAI first launched a corporate version of ChatGPT with added features and privacy safeguards in August.

They sure are generous with the word "custom" (Score:3)
These aren't custom-trained models, made to be experts / highly reliable in specialized fields / tasks. They're just standard models with text instructions prepended to them.

ChatGPT that can teach math to a child
The traditional schooling system leaves much to be desired. But when children all get their own always-on, always even-tempered, always ultra-polite mechanical preceptor that exposes them for several hours per day to a very poor simulacrum of human interaction, we'll end up with a generation of socially-inadapted, neurotic adults 20 years down the line.
If this is the future, I'm glad to be old enough never to be part of it because it sure looks bleak.

You have not actually used an AI tutor, evidently.
I'm definitely not young, and It's been a while since the future has looked this bright.

It's good that you, a capable adult intending to learn, had a positive experience with this system.
That's not the metric by which they need to be judged though.
