OpenAI's ChatGPT App for Mac Now Available to All Users

I installed the app on my 2020 iMac. Upon launch, it noted "You have six free questions left". After which it is apparently $15 a month! No thanks.
As long as ChatGPT and their ilk are profit-driven companies, they are part of this capitalist parasites. They are taking public (and privately held) knowledge and profiting from it without any compensation. It doesn't matter if they give a slice of the pie away or not.
I don't care what happened for thousands of years. Non-profit 501.c3 or nothing.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. But, no thanks.
I don't own a mac anymore (thanks to temporal dithering or whatever is causing headaches for some of us) and even if I did, I wouldn't want to send any data to OpenAI.

ChatGPT app shouldn’t depend on M-chip Mac. All the compute is happening in the cloud. Not sure if Open Wi wants to support Intel and non arm versions.
Actually it was shown To be theft
Without permission it scraped not only YouTube, podcasts and actual private libraries of information that wasn't theirs without consent.

I use the app on my iPad, mostly when I am in the flights or need to review offline. You have all the history on the device if needed. I wouldn’t put it on my iPhone though.
M series Macs only. Seems like an odd thing for a webpage wrapper.
They still have to maintain two code bases. ARM and Intel app. I doubt open AI or any one is going to start developing for Intel Macs.
I downloaded it outside of the AppStore. Does this mean my Mac is imminently going to be taken over by horrendous malware and other scary things that I don't understand? Will report back in a few days!
Don't use the AppStore. It's overrated. You can download direct from ChatGPT (openAI)
I think now that OpenAI partners with Apple, it will reply with a hallucination….Has anyone asked ChatGPT what it thinks of Siri?
Not only stealing … the article under the link below reminded me today how unreliable ChatGPT and cohorts as sources of knowledge. I saw a post in this thread that called the tool fantastic … oh my.

Artificial intelligence lies. Everyone knows this by now, of course. Programs such as Chat GPT and Google's "AI overviews" generate nonsense.

OpenAI prudently restricted it to Macs sold from Nov 2020-onward (3.5yo Macs) that are running 2023 macOS 14-onward.

Even the "system tray" in Windows (which is actually called the notification area) is only supposed to be used for notifications. However, even Microsoft is an offender there!
If they do it right, then it'd be a single code base that simply gets compiled to both targets (a universal app). I agree with antnythr that it's odd to build such a simple app as Arm-only.
Macs typically get replaced every 4 years.
macOS support typically ends ~10 years.
2020 Intel Macs will likely receive final macOS security patch by 2027.
Good move for OpenAI to limit support to Apple Silicon Macs that are no more than 3.5yo.
Saves them on support cost.
