Affordably?  What is this affordably jazz?  Looks to me like this can be done profitably!  OpenAI has what looks like the biggest software breakthrough since spreadsheets and word processors, both of which improved productivity beyond our fondest dreams.  They cost money of course, but we paid it cheerfully.

 

It could become a new cottage industry to take pristine GPTs, train them with our own special mixture of wisdom and sell the training set.  Not the GPT software itself, but only the memory of what you taught it to do.  OpenAI makes money, a GPT-trainer makes money, all that.
