Is it too early to start building apps backed by ChatGPT?

I'm starting to build something as a side hustle that I do want to become a serious app, and right now I'm just playing around with it, but I just realized I can hit the rate limit even with just normal conversation. I know there is no API right now but there are some open-source proxies, and I was planning to start building with these proxies and switch to the actual API when it's out. However, if it can't handle around 100 questions per hour, I don't see how it can handle say 10s of 1000s of questions per second with an API (or if I upgrade to Plus can it really handle this amount of traffic?). Also it seems like it can't handle synchronous questions from the same account. Should I just wait for OpenAI to release the API to see how much traffic it can handle and whether they will expand their servers, etc? Maybe ChatGPT is just meant as a personal assistant and not something you can back apps by. #ChatGPT #tech #AI #ML

You can't build on chatGPT that uses your account. You can build on GPT3 though, but be prepared for paying up to 2 cents for 1000 tokens.

I do want a chatbot though.

GPT3 can be a chatbot. Just prompt it with a chatbot style prompt. ChatGPT might release an API too that is similar to what it does now, but still, be prepared to pay.
