ChatGPT costs money in the App Store
ChatGPT is rapidly gaining popularity on the internet. The service makes it possible for anyone with an account to chat with an AI. The chatbot then provides detailed answers to the questions you ask or the comments you make. On the internet this service is free, you just need to create an account to use the service.
It is remarkable that the service does cost money in the App Store. The chatbot can be downloaded for free in the App Store, but to actually use the service you need to take out a subscription. And this is not just a subscription: you pay 9.99 euros per week and no less than 59.99 euros annually. So watch out, because the service is simply available on the internet for free.
ChatGPT Chat GPT AI With GPT-3 unreliable app
The app is also very unreliable, because it does not seem that the app is actually connected to Open AI. The makers have no connection with the developers of the real ChatGPT or the chatbot itself. So if you come across the ChatGPT Chat GPT AI With GPT-3 app in the App Store: don’t download it.
Users who have downloaded the app complain about the poor quality of the chatbot. The AI provides irrelevant or generic answers to the questions users ask. This confirms the suspicion that the chatbot is not connected to Open AI at all. The app now has quite a few reviews, which are both positive and negative.
The App Store often filters out untrustworthy apps
The App Store is known for the strict policy that Apple has when it comes to whether or not to allow apps. Therefore, it is noteworthy that ChatGPT app meets the App Store criteria.

Incidentally, offering a free app with a paid subscription is one of the easiest forms of scams in the App Store. Scammers create apps like virus scanners, password generators, and VPN apps in hopes of fooling unsuspecting users. According to figures from Sensor Tower such apps rake in $80,000 a month.
Big breakthrough of AI with chatbot
The great popularity of ChatGPT seems to be the big breakthrough of AI. Now that everyone can use Open AI, its use is much more accessible. For example, the service is already being used to write school assignments, emails, reports and messages. Moreover, academics use the service to write (parts of) research. ChatGPT is therefore widely used by different target groups.
