Holy shit-bananas, folks!

GPTs are all the rage right now.

Since OpenAI unleashed GPTs, the AI corner of the Internet has gone nuts. People are creating thousands and thousands of GPTs.

There are already no fewer than two dozen separate GPT directories, each simultaneously claiming to be “The Biggest Collection of GPTs Ever.”

There is a separate site that collects the above directories into a single list.

We have GPTs that can help you find other GPTs.

We have GPTs that can help you make better GPTs.

We have GPTs that can GPT your GPT’s GPT.

G.P.T!

A wide, cartoon-style image showing a group of excited people in an office setting, jubilantly throwing papers into the air. Each person is animatedly shouting 'GPTs!' with enthusiasm. The characters are diverse in appearance and attire, representing a variety of professions, from techies in hoodies to business professionals in suits. The atmosphere is euphoric, capturing the zeitgeist surrounding the GPT phenomenon. Above them, the word 'GPTs' is spelled out in large, colorful, balloon letters, adding to the celebratory mood. The background is a vibrant office space, with desks and computers, some displaying screensavers with the letters 'GPT'.
GPT!

Things got to the point where OpenAI couldn’t cope with the influx of new ChatGPT Plus subscribers and had to voluntarily stop accepting paid users.
