Thank you for your interest in developing a ChatGPT plugin.

Weve taken our learnings from plugins and created GPTs, said OpenAI in the email to developers.

Now the company is trying to revamp plugins with the more consumer-friendly GPT Store.

OpenAIs developer conference, DevDay, was all about convincing developers to build products on its platforms.

This isnt the first time Altman has upset developers.

Earlier this year, an update to ChatGPT included PDF analysis thatrendered the products of many developers useless.

But as we say, dont build a thin wrapper on top of OpenAI, said Altman toThe Verge.

We are planning to build the obvious features that you would expect for a robust platform over time.

It didnt appear obvious to developers though.

GPTs aim to be safer, but there are currently limitations that make developers less excited to build them.

Jobs ended up winning out, as fewer ports created cleaner products that regular people enjoyed more.

It seems that Altman and OpenAI have chosen the Apple routeshooting to appeal to the everyday person over developers.
