OpenAI's GPT Store Faces Content Moderation Challenges

Rapid growth and policy enforcement issues plague the digital marketplace.

OpenAI's GPT Store, launched in January, now hosts over 3 million custom GPTs, including many that violate copyright rules, bypass AI content detectors, and impersonate public figures.
The store faces challenges with content moderation, as it struggles to balance rapid growth with adherence to OpenAI's usage policies.
Several GPTs in the store offer services that attempt to circumvent academic integrity tools, raising concerns about promoting academic dishonesty.
OpenAI's policies prohibit creating GPTs that promote academic dishonesty, engage in copyright infringement, or impersonate individuals without permission, but enforcement appears to be a challenge.
The GPT Store's issues highlight the difficulties of managing a large-scale digital marketplace, with potential implications for OpenAI's reputation and the broader AI community.
