"OpenAI's ChatGPT Store Faces Spam Influx and Slow Start"
OpenAI's GPT Store, a marketplace for custom chatbots, is inundated with spammy and potentially copyright-infringing GPTs, raising concerns about moderation and adherence to OpenAI's policies. The store's rapid growth to roughly 3 million GPTs has led to issues with quality and legal compliance, including copyright infringement, academic dishonesty, and impersonation. Additionally, attempts at jailbreaking OpenAI's models have been observed. The company's push for monetization through subscriptions and earnings for GPT developers further complicates the situation, as it faces challenges similar to those encountered by early digital marketplaces.
