You can download ChatGPT on iOS for free right now

OpenAI, the company behind the wildly popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, announced on Thursday the launch of an iOS app — the first official mobile application of ChatGPT — with an Android version due to release “soon.” OpenAI CTO Mira Murati announced via TwitterIt is expected that in the next few weeks, the app will also be available worldwide.

ChatGPT launched as a free web-based application in November, last year. Since then, it claims to have amassed more than 100 million users. They use it in dozens of ways, ranging from debugging codes and cheating for college papers, to creating video games and fan-fiction. Since then, OpenAI launched a premium subscription for the program, ChatGPT Plus, which offers priority access and responses generated with ChatGPT’s latest language model for $20 a month.

As Polygon’s Nicole Carpenter wrote last month, ChatGPT is currently the best-known example of a “large multimodal model” AI, considered groundbreaking for its ability to not only learn from its own database of information but from human feedback. While the app is certainly impressive, it’s worth noting the ongoing privacy concerns while using ChatGPT and the app’s tendency to authoritatively deliver fabricated information. ChatGPT, like every other device, is only as trustworthy as those who interact with it.
