The blatant OpenAI brand infringement in all the non-official apps is extremely frustrating.

It just further weakens Apple’s arguments for their locked down store and app review process.

How does anyone (outside HN perhaps) have any hope of finding the official one?

And what are we (Apple users) paying our “Apple tax” for when the app store quality control processes have sunk so low?

Lack of competition. If Android counts as competition then switch to Android.

Easy. Out of all the ChatGPT wrapper clones on the App Store, Apple will promote OpenAI's app first, and remove the fakes if they wanted to. Only a selected few 'approved' competitor AI chatbot apps on the App Store will be still around.

This just shows that almost none of these AI chatbot apps have a moat and can be easily wiped out with a push of a red button, even if they are using the GPT-4 API.

There is a famous app for cars on Android called Torque. I accidentally told an average apple user to download it to head his OBD2 codes. 4 fake app downloads later he gave up and said "this is why I stick to apple apps" Lol what

If you just wait for Apple to copy their competition and give the apps away for free, you don't need to deal with the spammy app store!

Can’t argue with that. Given enough time, Apple solves everything!

Same. I'm sure it will show up on search in a day or do.
