OpenAI Releases ChatGPT App for iOS: A Human-Like AI Language Model at Your Fingertips
OpenAI, a research organization that focuses on developing artificial intelligence in a safe and beneficial manner, has released the first official ChatGPT app for iOS. ChatGPT is an AI language model that was launched in November 2022, and it has been receiving attention for its ability to respond in a human-like manner.[0] The app, which is free to use, can do everything that the desktop version of ChatGPT can do, and it also syncs conversations across devices.[1] In addition, the iOS app leverages OpenAI’s Whisper speech recognition engine to enhance voice input on iPhones.
The ChatGPT app is easy to use, and it supports voice input powered by the company's open-source speech recognition model Whisper. In addition, it ensures that your chat history is synchronized across various devices and the web version of ChatGPT when you are logged in to your account. If you access ChatGPT through its mobile version, your search history will be synchronized across different devices. This feature enables the app to retrieve your previous searches made through its web interface and make them available to you.
Recently OpenAI announced ChatGPT Plus, its premium chatbot version that comes with a fee. In February, the upgraded features became available for a subscription fee of $20 per month, which includes access to ChatGPT even during peak hours. The iOS app rollout will begin in the United States and soon be available worldwide.[2] Additionally, OpenAI stated that there will be an imminent release of an Android application.[3]
The launch of the iOS app comes at a time when major tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, are experimenting with AI, and in the case of Google and Microsoft, also integrating AI capabilities into their search engines.[4] However, being able to access ChatGPT directly on mobile outside of a search engine or browser could potentially shake up how people today use their phones to search and connect with information.[4]
With its AI-generated content, ChatGPT has been impressing the online world and evolving from a mere chatbot into a driving force behind the upcoming technological advancements.[5] The remarkable triumph of the chatbot has sparked a competition for AI supremacy among leading technology behemoths such as Google, Meta, and Microsoft.[6]
Although ChatGPT is free to use, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can enjoy faster response times from the more advanced GPT-4 model.[4] By subscribing for $20 per month, you can enjoy early access to the latest features of ChatGPT. OpenAI has promised to continuously improve the app based on user feedback.
Overall, the ChatGPT app is a significant step towards OpenAI’s mission of transforming state-of-the-art research into useful tools that empower people, while continuously making them more accessible.[7] The app will provide users with an easy-to-use interface, voice input, and synchronization across devices. As OpenAI continues to improve the app, we can expect it to become an even more integral part of our daily lives.
