ChatGPT is an amazing app, which allows you to have some fun but it is also a high target for hackers and scammers. Recently, cybersecurity researcher Alex Kleber, aka, Privacy1St found several fake OpenAI/ChatGPT apps on the Mac App Store, that mimic the logo and color schemes used by OpenAI. Those apps are asking for money upfront, while ChatGPT is free to use and even with the $20 subscription model which provides faster response and priority access, it is not obligatory. Additionally, some fake apps are locking customers out of their accounts.
OpenAI is a San Francisco-based Artificial Intelligence software development company. It is best known for training GPT-3, one of the most advanced natural language processing models in the world. OpenAI has a wide range of applications in fields such as robotics and machine learning. OpenAI is also an important catalyst and advocate for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence technology.
