Ethan Mollick slams OpenAI's GPTs shutdown: enterprises and educators left behind
emollick · x · 2026-10-05
Ethan Mollick notes his most-used GPT will vanish when GPTs are discontinued in December. While he can migrate it to a private "plugin," he argues that misses the point — GPTs existed so others could use them. He calls GPTs obviously obsolete, but warns this isn't a great path for the companies and educators who relied on them for years.
