Off-topic question: Where is this an "App Store", as this is basically just a curated list off apps? I wouldn't exactly call it a "store". I have an approved ChatGPT App myself, but those do not surface anyway on the chatgpt.com domain. So, this isn't a "store", but a "curated directory". Calling this a store is misleading to a lot of us developers as you can see in the openai forums on this topic, where you find a lot of confusion around this. People put a lot of energy into developing a ChatGPT App, just to find out, they are completely on their own afterwards.

I like to do the opposite, asking the LLM to give me relevant follow-up documentation, like the actually docs, where I can read and understand things myself. Data structures, techniques, etc. I still like to read that from the authors, much easier and trustworthy to grasp.
Using Cortecs.ai too in combination with DS4Pro and Mistral Viba as harness, but unfortunately DS4 on Cortecs is the opposite of cheap. So I just use it for privacy centric tasks.
If DS4flash works for your case, then https://tensorix.ai/pricing is offering at pretty much the same rates as deepseek themselves, with EU data residency and guarantees.
Google is sampling results/views, first spitting out a few and testing, then some more. If people regularly visit impressions/results, then it becomes more trusted and the sampling is widened. Saying: I am not too concerned with this esoteric blog article. The audience of the "poisoning" was probably just "one guy".
"For example, Ray says it looks like Google and ChatGPT might be quietly removing companies from its AI answers when it suspects they're promoting themselves."
What? So AI answers are empty thereafter.
Seriously, how can this be a good idea? At some point a company has to promote itself.
