OpenAI Will Let Developers Build Apps That Work Inside ChatGPT (theverge.com) 14
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: OpenAI is introducing a way to work with apps right inside ChatGPT. The idea is that, from within a conversation with the chatbot, you can essentially tag in apps to help you complete a task while ChatGPT offers context and advice. [...]
Apps available inside ChatGPT starting today will include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. In the "weeks ahead," OpenAI will add more apps, such as DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, and Uber. [...] Developers can access the SDK for making apps in preview starting today. Later this year, developers will be able to submit apps for review and publication, and OpenAI also plans to offer a directory for users to browse apps, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The company will share guidance about monetization "soon," Altman says. Last week, ChatGPT unveiled a new feature called "Instant Checkout" that lets users buy stuff directly through its chatbot -- "part of its overall push to integrate it with the rest of the web," reports The Verge.

I was a perl scripter 20 years ago. I thought I was the cool tech guy.
Now, I'm gonna end up being the luddite old guy that screams about how new technology is evil and don't trust it and it's ruining today's youths.
I gotta pick the line I yell from ye olde rockin' chair plugged into the socket on my porch:
a: How can you trust something that hallucinates????
b: There is no us in AI
c: In my day, we wrote the scripts ourselves and LIKED IT.
d: Get off my GOOGLE!

Where all apps require a subscription or sale. Won't be long before the free money dries up and the reality of costs sets in for AI.

And you learn not to rely on them too much for stuff that really needs to be done right.
I’m not a luddite. AI is gonna get better, and it’ll revolutionize a lot of stuff. But the time-frame is unknown. Given the current state of development, anyone willing to hand over control to their doordash and expedia accounts had better be ready to watch extremely carefully or accept the consequences.

So if you want to be a hobbyist sure go right ahead but if you have the slightest inkling of making money then better give that up fast.
ChatGPT OS. (Score:1)
This is moving toward ChatGPT as an OS. The only problem is, the heavy-hitting apps (Word, Excel, Google Maps) are going to stay away because Google and Microsoft can see where this is going.
