Beware of Fake ChatGPT Applications!

ChatGPT, a chat bot that can answer your questions like a human, solve complex problems and even write assignments and articles, has been in the language of social media for a while. This artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI can be used by anyone completely free of charge.

However, the information that has emerged recently has revealed that some malicious people are trying to scam people by taking advantage of the popular chat bot. Accordingly, many fake ChatGPT applications have been detected in both the App Store and Google Play Store. Some have even been seen charging subscription fees for the normally free bot.

Fake ChatGPT apps demand money from users

For example, according to MacRumors, in a search on the App Store, an application named “ChatGPT Chat GPT AI WITH GPT-3” was among the most popular applications in the ‘productivity’ category. In addition, it was not overlooked that the application wanted $ 7.99 per week and $ 49.99 annually. However, in the examinations, it was seen that the application had nothing to do with OpenAI.

Fortunately, the app was also removed from the App Store shortly after its release. The app’s close to 12,000 reviews before it was removed also drew great attention. In these comments, there were also statements stating that the application was fake.

Unfortunately, such applications are not limited to this. According to TechRadar, other applications that say OpenAI uses GPT-3 technology are also available in stores. It is said that these applications are available in both the App Store and Google Play Store and demand high fees from users. It is even stated that some of them have high scores. When you type ‘ChatGPT’ in the search, we see many fake applications using this name.

How to use ChatGPT?

The popular chat bot is currently not possible to use via a mobile application. In other words, you can access artificial intelligence for free only on the web. To do this, simply click the link here. After entering this address, you need to log in to your OpenAI account.

Let’s point out once again that you don’t have to pay any fees to use ChatGPT, so you should be careful about fake apps. In fact, OpenAI announced today that it will release a paid version of ChatGPT. However, it was stated that this version, which is in the testing phase, will not be made available to the general public for now.
