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

I wouldn't be surprised if it's tuned based on what people tap after a query, popularity stats generally, or other similar stats, and so they rebuild it only every few days after accumulating more stats. Establishing popularity at a point in time requires a window of time. If I had to guess, they pick a window of a few days because if you did it every minute or even every hour, there might be wild fluctuation in the…

So it would be search of the app store a few days ago?

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.

It's using whisper to do speech to text, which is a non-trivial amount of on device processing. At least that's why I think it's heating up my phone, because that was the first thing I wanted to try.

I haven’t tried speech to text earlier. To me with or without speech to text, my device heats up

> 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.

Considering they have hundreds of employees who are literally experts in using GPT-4, including evaluating it's code output, I think it's fair to expect they could produce an 'industrial scale indestructible' android app simultaneously with the iOS app.

Especially considering GPT-4 was, allegedly, complete by August 2022. If it doesn't even enable 2x or 3x the output after a half year of familiarization then I think it's a lot harder to use for businesses then commonly suggested.

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”.

So well curated, it seems.

“Curated” means “selected by experts”, not “good”. You can expertly curate for what makes you the most money, above all other metrics.

No, it would be a search of the app store string matches now, but ranked according to popularities from a few days ago.

For people outside the US: use a second apple account with Region set to US. I have used this many times for country specific public transport or delivery apps but same thing works here. You do not lose access to other apps, sync features or subscriptions. Go into the App Store app, not your phone settings, click your profile and scroll all the way down to log out. Then log in with a US account, download the app and…

How can you create a US account? Don't they ask for a credit/debit card and/or phone number?

I bought a $20 US gift card on ebay and redeemed that into a new US account

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…

fwiw, you seem to have left a "T" off the end

ChatGP, it's lights out and away we go!
