That (fallacious) argument applies to nearly every other "tech" platform, from YouTube to Hacker News.

The barrier being low is not the problem -- the question is how high does the ceiling go. Is this thing capable only of preconfigured prompts based on a customized data upload, or something vastly more?

Yeah and Youtube is absolutely swimming in garbage.

Without dang, Hacker News would be too.

Agreed, to an extent.

These platforms have powerful, refined algorithms to handle the swarm of submissions.

So far there's a single metric of initiated conversations for rankings in the store.

The Plugin Store had no metrics, and was ranked alphabetically, resulting in plugins named "AAAA {plugin name}".

So, historically OpenAI hasn't implement any sort of algorithms
