New technology OpenAI means the end of app development

OpenAI offers technology for creating web apps that you can throw away after a single use, or sell them in a new app store.

GPT, as this technology is called, is a customized version of ChatGPT for your own use. It can be designed using natural language, simply through written instructions, and you can put your own data into it to give the application specific functionality.

These types of new systems fundamentally change the work of programmers and developers. Creating an interactive web app doesn’t take hours, days, or weeks, but it can be put on screen with just a few virtual pen strokes.

“Ultimately, at some point, you ask the computer what you need,” Sam Altman of OpenAI said at a conference late last week. “It then automatically does all the necessary tasks behind the scenes and then carries out that task digitally. In such a world, an application is not a digital object.” Specifically designed, it is a disposable piece of code.

To create GPTs, the user must also have the new GPT-4 Turbo. This is currently only available to a limited extent. Multimedia Turbo. This means it can see (recognize) and create images and can handle text-to-speech. You can talk to your computer and it will get it.

Example where the OpenAI computer sees, understands and comments on the scene:

The text-to-speech module contains six voices and is multilingual.

A GPT store has also been available for a few days where developers can put their GPTs on digital store shelves. Interested parties pay a certain amount to use the application. The developer and OpenAI share the revenue.

By these calculations, this could grow into a billion-dollar business:

GPTs will be available across the web and through OpenAI’s APIs. This means that third parties like Snap and Shopify can process GPTs in myAI and Sidekick.
