#192> 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.
Ridiculous take on multiple fronts, man.
-> The thing was released like two months ago, think what LLMs will do in like 10 years.
-> They likely want an industrial scale indestructible app for their multi-million $ product, they can take at least three months to build it.

Block independent devs from submitting valid apps? Then they’d be blamed for supporting big corp and monopolistic practices. Damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
I'd hope that Apple would at least block applications that are doing trademark infringement which it seems like they are doing if they show up when someone searches for OpenAI ChatGPT

#195So, does this run on iOS, or is it a wrapper of some privacy invading cloud thing?
It says it syncs between devices. Is it E2E sync, which is kind of table-stakes for the iOS ecosystem at this point?

#197I 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…
The web version is very far from perfect on an iPhone.
It keeps logging me out, the copying UX is subpar… And god forbid I lock my phone while I'm getting a completion back. It stops mid sentence and there is no way to continue with it. Which (locking one's phone for a bit while interacting with it) is a very valid use case if you are doing stuff with your hands and want to put the phone in your pocket for a bit.
I'm looking forward to the app.

It's suggesting that "the prevalence of 'fake' ChatGPT apps on the App Store" undermines reasons Apple has used to defend everything having to be installed through the App Store & Apple's app review process (e.g. lack of side loading, or taking such a high percentage out of app-related purchases).

The ChatGPT webapp audience is almost entirely nontechnical, which is the primary reason it went viral and so many people got fooled by fakes. It is different from developers who are using the ChatGPT API to build apps.
Really? So many people tell me how great ChatGPT is at helping development and developers are pretty much by definition technical people. Also, the signup process is far from easy. People here often cry about how "difficult" it is to sign up for Mastodon or Matrix etc and that is why the mainstream don't use it. Yet this is the same :)
ChatGPT is great for nontechnical people and technical people!

>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 distaste…
Here’s an interesting real-time shift in language happening.
You just referred to these things as ‘chat apps’.
And that seems reasonable - they use a chat interface.
But they aren’t ‘chat apps’ as we would have understood them a few months ago. They don’t let you chat with people. They let you chat with an LLM.
Is the word ‘chat’ changing its meaning?
