ChatGPT App Fights Through a Crowd of Copycats on Apple’s Store
When ChatGPT finally debuted in Apple’s app store last week, you might have expected to find it at the top of the charts. Instead, a search for OpenAI’s artificial intelligence service yielded an endless scroll of look-alikes with spurious names, such as ChatAI and AI ChatBot: GPT-4 Open Chat.
The hiccup appeared to be resolved in a day or two, with ChatGPT — “the official app by OpenAI”— appearing second on the store’s list. But it’s still easy to get the real thing mixed up among dozens of knockoffs, a stark symbol of the AI gold rush underway.
The ersatz ChatGPTs feature similar logos and seem designed to trick customers into paying for high-priced subscriptions. Like OpenAI, Google and Baidu first launched their chatbots as websites instead of apps for expediency. Today, there’s an iPhone app called Bard even though Google doesn’t offer one. Baidu sued Apple and some software developers over fakes of its Ernie bot. With the real ChatGPT now available on the iPhone, it seems likely the days are numbered for these sorts of copycats. ChatGPT itself sounded peeved about them. Read the full story.
