OpenAI Does Some Spring Cleaning Ahead of ChatGPT-5

It's been a rumor for a while now, but now it seems like the release of ChatGPT-5 could become a reality over the summer, according to a Business Insider report that everybody's talking about.


A few folks who have had access to demos have been screaming praise. OpenAI has hinted at some cool new features, including calling AI agents that complete tasks independently. That's only one of the many anticipated reasons so many people are getting heated up about it.

Statements by some OpenAI staff members have caused serious speculation that our friendly neighborhood AI might have already begun extensive training. On top of that, Google recently ventured to say, in no uncertain terms, that its next-generation AI model, Gemini, is better than ChatGPT, which many people believe will push OpenAI to step it up to put Google in its place.

Grab the popcorn because, folks, the AI wars are getting real.

However, ChatGPT's summer debut is not guaranteed yet because everything is being kept hush-hush. Demos are floating around, however, and even with the secrecy, it's almost a guarantee the release will happen soon.

In the meantime, OpenAI has been doing a bit of house cleaning. It seems that the GPT store is a huge, spammy mess. In the store, independent developers get to sell their user-created GPTs, but here's the issue. There's no moderation, leading to a proliferation of junk products.

A spokesperson for OpenAI said this about the process of getting into the store: "We use a combination of automated systems, human review, and user reports to find and assess GPTs that potentially violate our policies. Violations can lead to actions against the content or your account, such as warnings, sharing restrictions, or ineligibility for inclusion in GPT Store or monetization."

According to many who visit the store, what OpenAi is doing to monitor entry isn't working. Let's face it: building GPTs isn't rocket science, so just about anybody can do it. The low barrier to entry has been attributed to the super-quick growth of the store since it appeared in January and now boasts about 3 million GPTs. The fast expansion has affected quality and adherence to OpenAI's terms of use.

Despite the company's claim that it cares about our safety, some big issues persist, such as copyright issues, academic dishonesty, and impersonation.

So what are they doing about it?

Currently, not enough to satisfy users. The store is a mess and needs to be cleaned up, which OpenAI says will be done. They just aren't being very specific or showing much transparency, and instead, they seem to come up with ways to circumvent real answers.

One thing is clear. OpenAI hopes the store will be a lucrative venture. If they want a shot at that, they must clean up the ChatGPT Store.

Isn't there a GPT for that?
