OpenAI, known for its AI innovations, is facing criticism for its GPT Store's slow start and lack of monetization options for developers. The GPT Store, intended as OpenAI's app store moment, has not lived up to expectations, with low usage levels and no clear path to monetization, according to developers. Concerns have been raised about OpenAI's decision to launch an app platform without a monetization model, limiting developers' potential earnings. Additionally, the GPT Store has been criticized for being filled with spam and potentially copyright-infringing content, reflecting poorly on OpenAI's moderation efforts. This criticism comes amidst OpenAI's move to secure Pentagon funding, with former Sen. Norm Coleman registering as a lobbyist for the company. Reports from TechCrunch highlight the issue of spam filling up the GPT Store.
