By naming it with the keyword ChatGPT and using a similar avatar, the software on the app store is confusing and causing many users to download.
ChatGPT is being hunted by many users to experience. However, many people still mistakenly believe that this artificial intelligence (AI) has an application version when in fact ChatGPT currently only works on the web. This is also a common mistake today and is fully utilized by small developers to attract downloads for their applications.
On some technology-related Facebook groups, many people still question how to download and install the ChatGPT application, or which is the “right” application among the series of programs that appear when searching with keyword “ChatGPT” on software store for mobile.
Mr. Hoang Tu – IT specialist of a company in Hoang Mai district (Hanoi) said that many colleagues at the office brought their phones to ask him to install the ChatGPT application for them to experience because they did not know what software to download. Online. “I have to remind people many times that artificial intelligence is provided in the form of a web, that is, they use a browser and visit OpenAI’s website to use it, and there is no specific application at this time. “, said Tu.
Some people even download the software before that, until they can’t use it or have problems to seek support. On the two application stores Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS), many programs have taken advantage of the trend and curiosity of users to learn ChatGPT to impersonate. Searching users will return hundreds of different results with confusing names and all appear the word “ChatGPT”, including software that has up to millions of downloads.
In addition to impersonating AI that is “creating a fever” in the community, some programs also seek to collect money from users even though they have not yet used it. These software are all free to download, but on first use, users will have to agree to the terms of subscription and prepayment. This is a point users should pay special attention to because ChatGPT does not have a mobile application yet. In addition, agreeing to a subscription package from an impersonation program can cause victims to lose money cyclically (day, week, month or year) and need to remove the subscription before deleting the application from the device.
“If you just delete the app without unsubscribing from the subscription package, then in the collection period, users will still lose money whether they can use the program or not,” Tu advises.
The Guardian newspaper on February 3 quoted statistics from data analysis firm Similarweb, saying that the AI chatbot called ChatGPT has attracted 590 million visits from 100 million users. According to analysts at UBS Investment Bank (USA), this is the fastest growth rate ever for a user application. Comparing TikTok and Instagram, both globally popular apps, can tell the difference: TikTok took nine months to reach 100 million users, while Intagram took two years, according to app analytics firm Using Sensor Tower.
