Why it's a problem? EU should offer ChatGDPR as an alternative.

ChatGDPR is funny tho.

ChatGDPR: Thank you for your question. However, as a GDPR compliant chat bot, I must inform you that tracking user data for targeted advertising purposes requires collecting personal information and may infringe upon user privacy rights. I cannot provide guidance on implementing such functionality without explicit user consent.

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…

Your app won't save my API key. It accepts it, shows a checkmark, then the pop up just sits there with the checkmark. If I click elsewhere besides the pop-up, it goes away, but prefs say key missing, and popping that window again doesn't show checkmark.

Why not? Isn't that the business model of OpenAI? Provide access to the APIs for wrappers that are not their own products - simple as they may. Bradgpt comes to mind

What's BradGPT?

I was about to post a snarky let me Google that for you link, but I couldn't find anything relevant for bradgpt.

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.

I'm pretty sure they advertised the curation as being for our benefit as users.

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?

"Is the word ‘chat’ changing its meaning?"

Judging by the number of recently-launched apps that invite the user to "chat with PDFs" or "chat with documents", it would appear so.

>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”.

I too am surprised to learn Apple PR have never used a mild pejorative to describe their own product.

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"

I'm in Australia. Searching for "openai chatgpt" returns all those third-party wrappers, but not the official one.

Because then management would be very short sighted to not assign 2 more guys waiting for their code to compile to complete the android app simultaneously.

They have a finite number of employees, and it's possible that making apps is very far down on their list of priorities. OpenAI are supposed to be saving the world after all

Yes finite, but far more then sufficient to find a few folks.
