OpenAI might be planning a ChatGPT-powered social media app to compete with X, Instagram, and Facebook. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, is looking for feedback from experts, hinting at early-stage development of the app. However, there are no other details or a timeline when we can expect such app to arrive.

A new WSJ report has highlighted that ChatGPT has had AI-detection tools with 99.9% accuracy in place, ready to release to the public, for a year now. However, the report also suggests that the company has been internally divided on whether or not to make it publicly available. The text watermarking method that OpenAI uses can accurately detect text that's straight away generated by ChatGPT without going through paraphrasing or any such external modifiers. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is also working on detecting the origins of a text via its metadata, which is a bit more complex to achieve. There have also developed C2PA Metadata for AI-generated Images that provides a reliable history of such images. All things considered, OpenAI should really stand its ground and release these tools to the public, and finally stay true to its promise of using AI responsibly.

Sam Altman sat down with Bill Gates in a recent podcast. It was revealed here that it is not ChatGPT which is the most used app by OpenAI's CEO. In fact, it is not any other OpenAI tool either - Sam Altman has revealed he uses Slack the most on his phone. This reveals how busy the CEO is in managing the OpenAI team and its efforts towards artificial general intelligence.

The App Store of GPTs is finally live. OpenAI has rolled out the GPT Store for ChatGPT Plus users after multiple delays. You can explore GPTs for various categories including Writing, Research and Analysis, Programming, Education, Productivity, Lifestyle, and more. Bear in mind, it's not available to free users, and you have to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus to use the GPT Store. OpenAI says that GPT creators can also monetize their GPTs based on the usage.

ChatGPT was going to get a GPT store this month. With this, people could make their own custom GPTs, and then based on how many people use it, there is a potential to earn money from custom GPTs too. However, OpenAI's ChatGPT team has just confirmed that the GPT Store is now delayed till early 2024.
