All media outlets are comparing GPTs to the Apple app store revolution back then and essentially pushing entrepreneur to jump in and create something.

To create a mobile app you need years of experience and in certain areas a team and tousen of dollars in other areas. To create a GPT, you answer questions in a wizard a upload documents, something that can be done a replicated in minutes, where is the sale value in there? What I see is a wrapper on top on chatgpt (like many other AI indie projects)

This is not a critique, I see the potential for internal use in a company or where the value resides on private documents, but I really don’t see a new application marketplace revolution in here. What am I missing? Or it is just hype?

    As someone who was a strong skeptic around AI (still am for the most part) AI has added hours of productivity to my weeks / months particularly around 2 things.

    1. writing copy. GPT (coupled with the right prompt) has the capacity of giving you a beautiful starting spot for copy. Seriously good stuff.
    2. coding. Before I had to ask my team on how to accomplish simple stuff in react as I’m more so a designer than a developer. Now I start with asking GPT before asking them and it works around 60% of the time.

    These two things might not sound that big of a deal but combined it saves me personally approx. 8 hours a week, and that’s a pretty huge deal to me.
