Create and sell API

Hi Friend, thanks for sharing your insights.

My main goal here is to help you understand the fundamentals and how to deal with these changes. For example, in the prompt engineering course, even though we worked 80% of the course with OpenAI API, I dedicated a lecture showing you how to switch in case OpenAI shut down!

We dont want to rely on software or service.

My plan for the PE course is to go more generic and make it adaptable to any AI model instead of focusing on OpenAI GPTs or any other specific service. 

If you have the right knowledge, you can adapt to anything.

For the API Course, I dont see any concerns related to it. Instead, I see opportunities, as you can now build APIs that users who build GPTs can use to power up their GPTs. 

Rest assured that I follow almost 99% of the updates going on in the AI world. I am trying to adapt my content to it. But not in teaching you how to use specific tools or websites. 

Even though there is a lot of hype around GPTs, I dont feel there is something special about to dedicate a course for. I already published a video on YouTube on how to build GPTs the right way, which, in short, makes sure you use data, APIs, and specific styling.

And I have some more videos coming about GPTs, I have some special ideas, I will be sharing on YouTube, but till now, I dont see that it requires a dedicated course. I believe the courses I am planning to publish this year are way more important. I want to make sure what I publish as a Premium course is based on deep research and tests and is not available somewhere else easily.

My little advice is don't chase the AI updates; you will enter a loop that never ends. Instead, focus on strengthening your technical knowledge.

I may be wrong. It is how I see things, and I am open to any opinions or discussions 🙂 

Speaking of adapting, I just had to give GPT 4 a specific command to dive deeper to give me 10 items in the news about products and services. It only wanted to give me two until I said to dive deeper. I'm of the opinion that GPT 4 is now doing searches daily for new content on the web but is pulling data only from specific sources OpenAI.com trusts. Just a guess but seems plausible.

I find that the new Gemini from Google provides a better summary of the data. For example, I wanted to know what were the Airforce bases that were open in Florida in the 1950's. GPT3.5 gave me very little information, GPT4 gave me 5 with a few words of detail, Gemini gave me 6 with a great summary of the bases including links and images of the bases from the era.

As @Hasan said, things change and AI is in it's infancy still and it's a stubborn beast that has yet to be tamed. Hang on to your hat, Elon Musk is about to upset the whole industry with his new baby. Be flexible, watch for the changes, adapt to what those changes are. Your programming can filter on versions of the API and adapt the code to the specific version. Most API changes will allow for the use of the previous version for a stated amount of time.
