> As a user of GPTs I’ve realized that I don’t actually want to use a GPT if I can’t see its prompt. I wouldn’t want to use ChatGPT if some stranger had the option to inject weird behaviour into it without my knowledge—and that’s exactly what a GPT is.

Agree 100%. I've found myself avoiding most GPT-based chatbots for this same reason. I don't want it to be subtly manipulating things without my knowledge based on custom instructions that I don't know about. Adding a "view source" option would make this feature from "meh" to "worth the money just by itself" for me. I've been considering cancelling GPT Plus since I find myself using Kagi a majority of the time anyway, but that sort of change would keep me subscribing.
Meta note: This is one of the best posts I've read in a long time. Outstanding work!
