This is actually quite appealing to me. Do you mind if I ask what if any framework you used to do this?

I used signald, pysignald, and ChatGPT-bot: https://pypi.org/project/chatgpt-bot/ I can probably publish the code somewhere, if you're interested.

Thank you so much for the reply!

Yes, no pressure, but if you feel like it, that would be great :)

> 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 made me wonder, are there any public examples of codebases written entirely (or almost entirely, with human curated parts noted) by GPT-4?

Yeah, I made CalendarMapApp in just a few hours having ChatGPT write all the code for me. https://github.com/localjo/CalendarMapApp

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.

Why doesn't Apple fix this? It seems like no matter how their backend architecture works, they could surely find a way even just to manually whitelist new big name apps from well-known companies to the top of search results.

Why wouldn't they do that?

It's only bad for everyone that instead there's this total shitshow litany of garbage presented to the user instead. It's bad for customers, bad for the app suppliers, and bad for Apple themselves. Totally bizarre.

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 had to open the link in my browser, then use the Safari tab sharing thing to open that same page on my phone, which then opened it in the store to the correct app, because I ran into the exact same problem. Apple store search is a broken horrific joke.

Apple caught with pants down doing important app launch. I hope they are proud.

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…

I feel the same disappointment for being put to wait, in my case I am not in US. Probably will forget to install the app later.

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.

Oh, I didn't mean to start an iPhone rant, but if we're going there... * Let me put the icon where I want it. seriously. if my OCD wants this icon on bottom right of my screen, let me! * Let me have an icon in multiple places. if my OCD wants this app in both "Media" and "Entertainment" folder, let me! * Allow me to put stuff onto the phone. Via USB. Like every other god damn device in the world. * Allow me to take s…

You need to use iTunes. There’s a file transfer tab somewhere. Or wait, it’s Finder now. They took the syncing out of iTunes. It’s also not called iTunes anymore I just realized. Ok, I’m old. :p

"This app is not available in your country or region" Seriously? When is this idiotic corporate idea going to die? Internet has no regions. (BTW, I pay for ChatGPT plus)

Unfortunately, the internet is getting more and more balkanized. What people see in one country is becoming completely different from what people see in another country, and often things are completely inaccessible between countries. Not to mention that even within countries it's becoming impossible to see the same things as someone else.
