  • Wow those examples are full of verbatim copies of FOSS code (e.g. react-dom) but without any copyright/licensing notice

    It's seriously mind-blowing that this is allowed and most people seem okay with it

  • This is probably going to be hugely successful with the majority of the population.
  • I wonder if they'll combine this with the currently-in-closed-beta Sign In with ChatGPT to let people make sites that can make inference calls that get charged to the user's ChatGPT subscription rather than the site owner's API billing account, like Claude Artifacts already lets you do. That would synergize well with ChatGPT Sites being generally more robust and feature-complete than Claude Artifacts.
  • Look at the "beneath the surface" example. Click on a creature close-up. Click the "rotate creature" button. The creature's rectangular jpeg, complete with black background, rotates on screen. No 3d or anything. This is their demo! It has that Potemkin village quality, much like AI apps, code, and answers.
  • This seems to close a gap that both Claude and chatgpt had.

    If you ask something like "please make a little website for me and my friends to plan our shopping lists on", I would expect the result to be:

    "Here you go: https://shopping-lister.chatgpt.com/"

    Unfortunately right now most AI models get into the weeds of asking the user to sign up to netlify or firebase or buying a domain etc - none of which most users are interested in doing.

  • They are desperate to find a moat cause models aren’t much more than a commodity.

    What they might not realise is that stuff/services like these (ChatGPT Sites) are probably not much of a moat either in a world where majority of population has access to increasingly better models capable of building competitors in days if not hours. Even if they restrict usage of their models when it comes to creating competitor services there will always be other models that you can use to build competitor.

    What is happening is that their products are putting people out of work but at the same time they are also enabling anyone to easily build competitors to their own products and are thus putting their own services “out of work”. They are essentially eating their own tail. Ouroboros. Is noone seeing that?

    The only truly lasting moat might be hardware/compute. At least for now.

  • People seem calm in here, but I really now think is replacing a lot of industries. Like Website Designer. I totally see people asking chatgpt to build them a website instead of paying them 2,000 USD.

    Soon it will connect to Ads and it will runs for it as well.

    Honestly since Opus 5.5, Opus is my interface for 95% off my work. I don’t open emails anymore i let it summarize draft and handle most of the work and I only talk to Claude and not read/write the emails myself.

    I also barely go in analytics dashboards anymore, Most I do is creating artifacts to explain if text is not enough for me to understand.

    I’m going to bed. I have analytics running for every cancellation on my software to see what goes on. I have a/b tests running that are getting interpreted automatically. My bugs are getting fixed automatically.

    I can monitor my competitors and copy every feature a/b test resolution they’ve done instantly for (3$ of my budget)

    I’m an early adaptor of the latest models. The labs will have better tools already, but it really feels like a breaking point. What’s normal for me today is normal for more tomorrow and the friction has never been lower...

    Interesting..

  • I have been using Sites a few months now, really underrated feature IMO. Any time I get a quick app idea I just hand it off to Sites and usually get a working prototype within the hour.

    For example, here's a game where you are a mouse hunting for cheese in higher dimensional mazes: https://manifold-six-axis-escape.nathan338932.chatgpt.site/

    Idea came to me while at a concert, was ready to play that same night.
