Unbelievably, the newly opened GPT Store is actually notorious for its "disorder".

In the "Trending" section, a new application called New GPT-5 has unexpectedly appeared, and it is ranked first.

However, sharp-eyed netizens immediately discovered the clues - it's fake!

OpenAI's official response to this matter was extremely quick, and the fake GPT-5 has now completely disappeared.

Even clicking on the original link now results in a 404 error:

Following this incident, many netizens came to vent their grievances. For example, a netizen who owns "GPT 4.5 Turbo" said:

This is my biggest GPT. OpenAI shut it down without any notice.

I can change the name, but why didn't they notify me before making it "visible to myself only"? This is annoying.

I understand that my GPT used their name, but I still hope to be warned in advance.

Moreover, it seems that now any GPT using an "official exclusive" name is being cleaned up.

However, there are exceptions, such as this netizen's GPT-6, which is still visible.

However, this is just a glimpse of the chaos in the GPT Store exposed by netizens.

Chaos in the GPT Store

1. Derivative brushing "side business"

Since the Trending section of the GPT Store is ranked based on the number of dialogue rounds for each GPT, the more a GPT is used and the more dialogues it has, the higher its ranking.

Therefore, some netizens immediately posted a call for "mutual assistance" on the platform:

I think I can create a mutual assistance group for brushing the rankings. Everyone can post their GPTs links, and group members can open and use them for at least 3 rounds of dialogue.

2. Popular products being plagiarized

Similarly, a netizen from the platform revealed that someone directly plagiarized this blogger's GPT by simply changing the name and avatar:

Even Grimoire, which ranked fourth in the Trending section, could not escape the fate of being copied and replicated:

The reason why plagiarism is so rampant is because the barrier to creating a GPT is indeed quite low.

As long as you are a Plus user, you can click "+Create" and fill in the relevant information…

3. Large influx of zombie accounts

Due to the low barrier to creating GPTs, in addition to plagiarism, a third chaos has emerged - zombie accounts.

For example, when searching for the popular role-playing AI "Chibi Kohaku", in addition to the original, there are many GPTs with similar avatars and names:

Although it is currently possible to distinguish between real and fake based on the number of dialogues, don't forget… the GPT Store has spawned a side business of brushing rankings.

(Someone has created a closed loop)

In response, some netizens called for action:

It's too unsafe! They should be banned.

4. Large number of AI girlfriends emerge

Similarly, in addition to the large number of zombie accounts, there is another chaos - too many girlfriends.

For example, when searching for "girlfriend" in the GPT Store, the results are like this:

Hmm, there are all kinds of "Korean girlfriend", "virtual sweetheart", and so on.

But this goes against OpenAI's own rules:

We also do not allow GPTs to be used to cultivate romantic relationships or engage in regulated activities.

And there are also regulations related to content unsuitable for minors:

Although OpenAI updated the usage policy of the GPT Store on January 10, judging from the current chaos, regulation is still a long way off.

Useful GPTs also exist

Of course, there are also many high-quality applications in the GPT Store, and many netizens have expressed that they are "easy to use" after experiencing them.

For example, Consensus, which ranks first in the Trending section, has received praise from the academic community.

This is an AI research assistant, formerly known as ResearchGPT. It is more like a "search engine" and claims to be able to search for scientific answers from 200 million academic papers, with each conclusion accompanied by citations.

It is worth mentioning that many of the GPTs that have been enthusiastically recommended by netizens were originally ChatGPT plugins, and there is a high degree of overlap between top GPTs players and top plugin players.

For example, the other two PDF interpretation tools in the top three of the Trending section are also plugins.

Among them, Ai PDF can handle PDF documents up to 2GB in size, and AskYourPDF can interpret multiple files at the same time, with results including the source.

In terms of programming, Code Tutor has received widespread praise. It was created by the non-profit educational organization Khan Academy and does not write code for you, but provides step-by-step guidance and answers to questions. Netizens feedback that it is very suitable for beginners to get started.

For those who want to write code directly in one sentence and make it run successfully, Grimoire has become the first choice for netizens.

For example, the webpage that changes with the movement of the cursor shared by a netizen was written by Grimoire.

The generated code is 99% correct.

In terms of drawing, Logo Creator is more popular among netizens. It will provide some options based on the user's needs for the user to choose from, in order to set user preferences:

Finally, it can generate nine different logos at once:
