Is the GPT-4 access still limited to 25 messages every 3 hours for iOS?

While it doesn't specify on the app that the limit is 25 messages every 3 hours. It mentions that GPT-4 access is limited and usage caps are reset regularly, but doesn't specify how much.

The people complaining that you can’t find it by searching verbatim: this is always the case for the first 1-2 days with an iOS app launch.

The problem also occurs when searching for any low-ranking results in the iOS store, regardless of getting the exact name correct. A friend released a crossword game, and when searching the exact name of the app, it still comes up as the seventh result behind one ad and five other (much more popular) crossword apps with different names.

> P.S. Android users, you're next! ChatGPT will be coming to your devices soon.

I'm getting a good chuckle out of this.

The thought-leaders have been warning us that large language models will put 99% of professionals out of work and will threaten the nature of human existence... and yet today's leading LLM apparently can't be used to generate code for a boilerplate user interface using the Android SDK.

This release is more relevant as there have been very many fake ChatGPT apps that leveraged OpenAI's branding. Case in point, the App Store release app subtitle is "The official app by OpenAI"

>very many fake ChatGPT apps But its for our security to have a closed ecosyste---Walled Garden. Woah there, almost didn't stick to the marketing that we were all taught.

There's nothing "fake" about those apps at least upon surface level investigation: OpenAI sold access to the ChatGPT and GPT-4 API, so opportunistic people made chat apps "powered by" ChatGPT and GPT-4. They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't.

So, on what ground do you suggest they should be blocked from submission? Slapping a custom UI on a third party API is fine, if a bit distasteful in certain situations. Tons of people on this very forum work on glorified wrappers.

I clicked on the link on my PC. Noted the name of the app ("Openai ChatGP") and the description ("The official app by OpenAI") I opened App Store on my iPhone and typed the name of the app, verbatim . The official/correct app was not in the first 20 entries (which is as far as I was willing to scroll). Which, to me: 1. Shows why an official app is needed even though the web version works perfectly fine on iPhone and…

I love my iPhone but god damn does apple suck at a number of things. It’s 2023, and they have a terabyte of storage but they won’t store more than 100 numbers in your call history. Like what.

They are fighting an uphill battle against a never ending wave of products that are often well meaning but named too similarly too. Not that HN wants to admit it when gpt4all gpt4free etc comes up

Is "GPT" a registered trademark in the AI space?

I’m guessing it keeps you logged in, will scroll/handle text more natively than the web, and opens up an app for who-knows-what in the future.

It’s the right call to make.

What does this add over opening chat.openai.com in Safari? It seems like I could perhaps browse conversation history offline (but I can't tell for sure), and voice dictation. I've just used it in Safari with no problems, so I want to know if any compelling reasons exist to use the app. I'd guess it includes additional tracking enabled by an app and other undesirable aspects of an app.

I had chat.openai.com saved to my homepage so here's my finding so far: - snappier - search through conversation history via title search - whisper built in for record -> transcribe workflow (does not work "live" unfortunately) - easier to scroll through history and delete history - long press prompt or response to copy/select text or perform voting/regeneration actions - better text resizing support (via the control…

No tts tho. I’d rather have a conversation.

Very many did that or implied an association with OpenAI, which is why OpenAI had to release updated branding guidelines (https://openai.com/brand) and started enforcing takedowns against apps/domains using GPT in their name.
