Open AI recently announced the launch of its GPT store, which is a platform that allows users to share custom chat bots, also known as GPTS, and this store, which opens up new possibilities for ChatGPT alone was initially slated for a November release, but experienced several delays, finally becoming available in January of 2024. Now, since the introduction of the GPT Builder program in November, over 3 million custom
GPTS have been created. These GPTS cover various applications and Open AI plans to feature outstanding examples in the store weekly. The GPT store's opening marks a significant expansion at Open AIS ecosystem, offering more than just the company's in house developments now.
The launch was postponed from November to December and then to January, and the GPT store enables creators to publicly showcase their custom chat bots, although currently only subscribers to Open AIS paid tiers can create and use these custom GPTS. In addition to the store, Open AI is initiating a revenue sharing model for GPT creators set to begin in the first quarter of the year.
Creators will earn based on user engagement, though the specifics of the arrangements are yet to be disclosed, and Open AI has implemented a new review system to ensure that all custom GP TS adhere to its brand guidelines and usage policies. The company has also streamlined the process of reporting GP TS that users find harmful or unsafe. The GPT store is accessible to users of GPT Plus Enterprise and a new subscription tier called Team.
This tier, aimed at smaller teams of up to 150 members, includes access to GPT 4, Dolly Three, and advanced data analysis features with a commitment to privacy and data security. Chat. GPT Team is priced at $25 per user monthly when billed annually and $30 per user for monthly billing, and offers custom GPT creation for specific team needs. This plan ensures that user data and conversations are not utilized for model training purposes.
Now, Open AI's recent venture mirrors the concept of the Microsoft Store, providing A centralized location for sharing and discovering a wide range of custom GPT bots. The GPT Store features categories like Dolly writing, research, programming, education, and lifestyle promoting the visibility of these custom creations. And the GPT store not only offers a public platform for displaying custom GPTS, but also aims to enhance their
discoverability. However, the creation and usage of these custom bots are limited to subscribers of specific Open AI plans. And the revenue sharing program for GPT creators, primarily based on user engagement, shows a new direction for Open AI. It offers creators a potential income stream for their innovations, aligning with the broader trend of monetizing digital creators. Creations now ChatGPT team, as part of this initiative, extends
existing subscription benefits. Of course, it uses Dolly 3 and GPT 4, and this shows that Open AI is willing and open to provide advanced tools for smaller teams and admits these developments. Open AI has openly acknowledged the necessity of using copyrighted material in AI
development. The company recently submitted a statement to EU KS House of Lords emphasizing that creating effective AI models like ChatGPT would be impossible without such materials, and Open AI submission highlights the extensive scope of copyright law, covering almost all forms of human expression. The company argues that restricting training data to public domain sources would severely limit the effectiveness and relevance of modern AI
systems. This acknowledgement follows a lawsuit filed by the New York Times against Open AI and Microsoft, alleging unauthorized use of the newspaper's content. Open AI has responded, dismissing the lawsuit as lacking of merit and reaffirming its commitment to journalism and collaborative partnerships. Now Open AI's defense leans heavily on the principle of Fair use, which allows limited use of copyrighted material without explicit permission under
specific conditions. The company maintains that using publicly available Internet materials for AI training falls under this principle. Now, this isn't the first instance of Open AI citing fair use in defense of its training methods. In a previous copyright lawsuit involving comedian Sarah Silverman, Open AI argued that the scope of copyright law includes exceptions for innovation, suggesting that their use of publicly available materials is a legitimate practice under fair use.
Now, the GPT stores launch, combined with the introduction of ChatGPT team, and open AI stance on copyright issues, shows that the company is moving forward. It's a complex landscape of AI development and also making money. Open a is. Recent initiatives mark important steps in expanding the reach and capabilities of AI tech. The GPT store and ChatGPT team offer new avenues for AI application and creation, and also a little bit of money
there. And while the company stance on copyright usage underscores the intricate balance between innovation and legal compliance, Hey, thank you so much for listening today.
