It seems that scammers have tried to capitalize on the popularity of the ChatGPT AI text generator, which has been an online sensation for several weeks.
The completely free browser-based platform developed by OpenAI has been the talk of the internet and works by giving you a detailed human response to a simple command or query. It is even considered a possible successor to the Google search engine.
However, rogue gamers have already targeted mobile app stores to test and market smartphone versions of the platform, according to Gizmodo.
In particular, an app called “ChatGPT Chat GPT AI With GPT-3” appeared on Apple’s app store with an exorbitant price of $8 for a weekly subscription after a three-day trial period. You also have the option of paying a monthly subscription of $50, which according to the post is even more expensive than the weekly price.
Despite the price and the fact that the application is not related to OpenAI, the copy platform has proven to be popular. It ranks fifth in downloads in the productivity category of the Apple App Store, ahead of Google Docs. The app is also rated 4.6 out of 5, with over 13,000 ratings and uses the original ChatGPT logo to increase its credibility. TechCrunch also reported a fake text generator that appeared on the Google Play Store but was removed before reaching 100,000 downloads.
The copy of ChatGPT has since been removed from Apple’s app store, as it gained media attention; however, many wondered how he managed to get through the company’s application review process. According to MacRumors, the app was released three weeks ago and it has had enough time to collect so many ratings and comments about its quality.
Many users have reported several of the same complaints seen with the real browser version of ChatGPT, including the chatbot filling in inaccurate information in response to a query. Also, users took issue with the price, the lack of a support team, and the fact that it doesn’t send many notifications.
Most importantly, the actual version of ChatGPT available on the web is completely free to use, so there’s no reason to pay for a separate subscription at this point.
There was a lot of hype surrounding ChatGPT, which was occasionally “full to capacity”, forcing people to wait for access. It is possible that people decided to pay for the application to try to cross the border.
While the saga of this particular ChatGPT mobile app may be over, there is news that there will be an official OpenAI app for iOS in the future. Venture capitalist and podcaster Jason Calacanis recently announced in a LinkedIn post that he had gained access to a beta version of the app, but did not share any additional details.
For now, the easiest way to access ChatGPT on your smartphone is to load the AI text generator on your mobile browser.
