Jeez, the app is impossible to find among all the fakes. I had to go to openai's website and use the link there.

The blatant OpenAI brand infringement in all the non-official apps is extremely frustrating.

It just further weakens Apple’s arguments for their locked down store and app review process.

How does anyone (outside HN perhaps) have any hope of finding the official one?

And what are we (Apple users) paying our “Apple tax” for when the app store quality control processes have sunk so low?

Wow, just tried to search organically and there are an awful lot of existing apps already spun up to give you access to ChatGPT. I wonder if Apple will help them be prioritized in the rankings or if they'll be pushed into spending ad dollars to appear at the top of the search.

It's been out for less than 24 hours so I don't think Apple's App Store search index has had time to update the rankings. Give it a few days and I'll bet it becomes the number 1 result.

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"

Can't find the chart, but several of those wrapper apps made $1MMs in revenue too

I really like how it has the open ai whisper speech-to-text model built in so you can use your voice to talk to the model.

Didn't they bring it to iOS with https://chat.openai.com ?

Normalize people using the web. And FirefoxAndroid... don't refresh an idle tab unless I tell you to!

Just this week, GPT-4 helped me: * Find new artists to listen that combine techno with psytrance * Navigate a tricky personal communication situation * Debug a LOT of different issues * Write new code in a language I'm not really familiar with * Explore political ideas through simulated debate * Search current visa requirements * Find answers to some random history questions * Calculate whether my tent would be blown…

Curious what you mean by this?

Or use Poe, which also offers GPT-4 at the same price as a ChatGPT sub.

Poe offers fewer GPT4 messages than OpenAI for the same price. Just wanted to add that context.
