I don't mean to be harsh, but is this journalism now?

When you write an article and say something has been corroborated by your "sources", does that mean "forwarded to you by anonymous HN posters"?

You don't have an IRL relationship with a source who has created a GPT? You can't throw a stone in the valley without hitting somebody who has.

I think the crux of the request was that they didn't get the email that "each and every creator of a GPT" was apparently supposed to get.

I've created almost a dozen GPTs that I and some others use almost every day, and I didn't get the email either. I think it's reasonable to ask for someone (even a stranger) to forward you a missing email.

Edit: Asked a friend and he didn't get any email either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That has always been journalism. “Sources” encompasses all sources from whistleblowers to employee leaks to random overheard conversations on the internet or AFK.
