A app claiming to be affiliated with the popular ChatGPT bot has recently soared up the App Store charts, charging users a $7.99 weekly subscription to use a service that is entirely free to use on the web.
The app, named “ChatGPT Chat GPT AI With GPT-3,” gives the impression it is the official app for the ChatGPT bot, but appears to have no affiliation to Open AI, the creators of ChatGPT, or the bot itself. Despite its suspicious activity, presence, and soaring popularity, the app has passed Apple’s App Store review process multiple times since its initial launch three weeks ago. The app is currently the second most popular productivity app on the App Store in the United States, indicating it is rather popular.
