OpenAI Releases The iPhone App ChatGPT

Hundreds of millions of users have tried out ChatGPT since its November launch. The online chatbot can respond to queries, compose poetry, create email draughts, and riff on nearly any subject from within a computer browser.

In an effort to capitalize on ChatGPT’s great success, OpenAI, the San Francisco artificial intelligence lab that created it, introduced a new iteration of the chatbot for the iPhone on Thursday.

The smartphone app of ChatGPT reacts to voice instructions, acting somewhat like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa, in contrast to the browser-based version. The program generates written responses instead of vocal ones.

According to a blog post by OpenAI, the app is a component of their mission to turn their artificial intelligence (AI) research into “useful tools that empower people while continuously making them more accessible.” It chose not to add more commentary.

OpenAI is securing its place among the titans of the tech sector by making its flagship technology available to billions of iPhone users. The most well-known instance of so-called generative AI, or technology that can create text, graphics, and other media based on brief prompts, is ChatGPT. Similar bots have been released by Google, Microsoft, and a number of start-ups, and this technology is now being incorporated into a variety of internet applications.

These chatbots are about to revolutionize everything from internet search engines like Google Search and Bing to email programs like Gmail and Outlook. They are the product of more than ten years of study at businesses like Google and OpenAI.

They can produce digital writing that may be used practically everywhere, including by businesses to make emails and other marketing materials and by students to write term papers.

Technology is not flawless. These chatbots are unable to discriminate between reality and fiction because they learn by analyzing enormous amounts of digital text collected from all over the internet. Additionally, they frequently produce faulty computer code.

Nowadays, technology more often enhances human workers’ abilities than outright replaces them.

The technology that enables ChatGPT with voice use has already been developed by a few small businesses and independent developers; therefore, OpenAI is not the first to do so. A voice-activated version of Microsoft’s Bing chatbot is also available.

The new iPhone app is without cost. Users of ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 per month, have access to a more capable chatbot built on GPT-4 technology.

The app was made available by OpenAI on Thursday in the US, and it will soon be available in additional nations. Additionally, an Android version of the app is being developed.
