OpenAI’s chatbot now handles payments, shopping and news. The question is who carries the risk when things go wrong.
If you still think ChatGPT is just some chatbot, you’re already behind. It’s everywhere now be it work, school, shopping, and even how we read news. And now, Payments as well.
OpenAI rolled out something called instant checkout. No browser hopping, no endless forms and no typing in your card again. You just tap “buy” inside ChatGPT. Shopify and Etsy sellers are already using it. Their stocks have jumped (Etsy shares have jumped by 16% after the announcement. Shopify was up by 4.5%) and investors are hyped.
On the surface it looks convenient but let’s be real, this isn’t just about making life easier. It’s OpenAI opening a brand new money tap. The bot doesn’t just talk anymore; it sells. Yes, ChatGPT just added “cashier” to its resume.
The shiny dream of the “super app”
As if payments weren’t enough, they also launched ChatGPT Pulse. Basically our personalized news digest. Instead of reaching for Twitter or Instagram in the morning, the plan is we’ll reach for ChatGPT.
