#52Just 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…
Mobile web works. I don't know if their signups block non-US phone numbers (they require a phone number for surveillance, er, security purposes).

#53Wonder what permissions it wants
None
Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#54This 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"
There is probably no other reason to bring this app to iOS and Android. ChatGPT works very well as a PWA added to home screens.
Many non-technical users look for apps in the App Store.
That said, it's possible to package progressive web apps (PWAs) for listing in app stores: PWABuilder[0].

#55Its privacy report card is not great.
It's not too bad. Notice how there's no section for "Data used to track you", only "Data linked to you"? They're not actively tracking users.

The typical nontech user doesn't know what a PWA is, which is why native apps in the App Store are still very important.
I think most of the OpenAI's target audience must be technical enough to know they can access websites on a smartphone and bookmark them in some way.
They probably just want to fight abuse/spam/fraud/scams that are on the App Store/Play store so that it would stop devaluing their brand. "ChatGPT charged my card $299 without permission, I am going to the press!" is a disaster waiting to happen with these scammy apps.

A brand-new project in Xcode doesn't require iOS 16. You actually have to make use of OS features only available in 16+ to get your app limited like this. And beside, 5-year old iPhones support iOS 16; it's not too unreasonable to make use of these features.

The in-app purchase to upgrade to plus is very smooth…
