My bet was they would delay it. Well excited to see what people will build but also a little worried. Users have developed a lot of trust towards ChatGPT some are using it as a therapist, uploading a lot of secret info etc.

Now with custom gpts anyone can piggyback on that trust and just upload all that data to their servers.

Can they? I thought custom GPTs were hosted entirely by OpenAI with no middle-man in-between? How would the creator of a custom GPT receive any user prompt data? AFAIK they're not even accessible through the API to build on top of (unlike the Assistants)


They're able to utilize APIs

Would you mind pointing me to some info on this? I actually tried to invoke my custom GPT through the OpenAI API and found no way to do it. The closest option at the time was creating an Assistant, which is a whole separate construct. If there's a way to do it now I'd love to play around with it.

They’re talking about the other direction. The bot can make web requests, which means it can export data.

Why would you make that prediction when they just sent an email that says it's launching next week?
