I don't think building applications around it is a good idea. You might face the same problems Reddit developers are facing right now with Reddit's API.

What happens if OpenAI decides to increase the price on you? Now you are losing massive amounts of money and have no where to go.

What if OpenAI decides they don't like how your company is operating and bans you from using OpenAI APIs. Where do you go?

What happens if OpenAI changes their model over night and now you are getting bad responses from your prompt. What do you do?

What happens if OpenAI's API goes down?

Unlike most services you use to build application there is no alternatives to OpenAI's API. You can't simply switch to another LLM API and expect the same results.

Well there are interesting alternatives today. I find Claude (https://www.anthropic.com/) and Dolphin / ChatDolphin (https://nlpcloud.com) to be very good alternatives to ChatGPT.
