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.

My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

>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.

I don’t recall ever hearing Apple PR calling iOS a “walled garden”. Outside of tech I doubt most people would understand what that means. The operative word is “curated”.

The web version doesn't allow speech input.

Link worked for me just as expected.

Funnily enough I've been in contact with the Apple Support Team complaining about the scam "GPT" apps. Their reply, verbatim:

"We take reports of fraudulent behavior very seriously. Please provide the following so we can investigate the situation:

Steps to reproduce the behavior: Screenshots of the behavior on the iTunes Store or App Store: Names and links to the Apps:

After we receive this information, our team will investigate your concern."

Am I supposed to provide unpaid work for a $2 trillion company?

Also, worth mentioning the "tracking" of the "official" app:

The following data may be collected and linked to your identity: Contact Info Identifiers Diagnostics User Content Usage Data

Thanks, but no thanks!

Disclosure: I developed an iOS app that uses the OpenAI API, but somehow managed to not include any tracking.

AKME is free and doesn't include any tracking. The app supports a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model, as well as buying in-app tokens https://apps.apple.com/app/akme-ai-knowledge/id6446436196

Tried this for few minutes, and it makes my phone run hot. Whats the CPU/GPu intensive work this app is doing on the device? I thought all the queries are sent to the server and no on device processing.

Same, I tried Whisper and received a call right after and it was unusually hot.

I wonder what on earth takes a few days, this is not a DNS record...

DNS records take a minute or two to update

DNS records take a minute to update and take 24-48 hours to propogate to all nodes globally due to caching.
