GPTs are customizable applications based on the Artificial Intelligence, abbreviated as AI, language model of ChatGPT that can perform a wide variety of tasks tailored to specific needs.[1] GPTs can be used and created from the GPT Store. Any user can easily create them without any programming knowledge.[2] By January 2024, more than 3 million GPTs had already been published.[3]
Features and uses
editGPTs can be configured to answer complex questions in specific fields, solve problems, provide image-based information, or create digital content. They can be programmed as educational tools, purchasing guides, or technical advisors, as well as for many others applications. [1]
To use them, you need to access the GPT Store. This is done from the GPT chat web page. At the top of the left column is the “Explore GPT” link that opens the store where the most popular GPTs in each section are highlighted.[4] The GPTs are organized by categories. The store also uses a rating system based on user experiences similar to that used by other App stores such as Apple’s App Store or Google Play. Those with the best ratings appear at the top of each category.[5]
According to La Vanguardia, the most popular categories are:[6]
- Personal assistants
- Learning to program
- Image generation
- Creative writing
- Gaming
- Entertainment
It is expected that in the future the creators of GPTs will be able to monetize them.[7]
Companies like Moderna are using GPTs to assist in various specific business tasks. The company has created 750 GPTs for its own internal use.[8]
Configuration
editInstalling GPTs is a simple task that does not require prior programming knowledge. Free users can use existing GPTs but cannot customize their own. [9] For paying subscribers, the first step in setting up a custom GPT is to go to chat.openai.com/gpts/editor. On this page, you must select the “Create a GPT” link. The next step is to write the title and description and upload an image or ask the artificial intelligence to automatically create one based on the title and description. The next step is to complete the form specifying the GPT’s objective and how it should behave along with “conversation starters” which are phrases to activate it. Optionally, you can add APIs using the “Add actions” option. Finally, click on the “Save” link to save it and configure the publication options, which can be three: Public, private or accessible only to people with a link. The last step is to click on “Confirm”.[10]
Criticism
editThe implementation and use of GPTs has not been without criticism. The main concerns are ethics and the accuracy of the information generated. The GPT Store has been criticized for the proliferation of low-quality GPTs and spam due to a lack of effective moderation.[7] There are also concerns about data privacy and security, as GPTs may collect and use personal information in ways that are not always transparent to users.
