The popularity of OpenAI's AI chatbot ChatGPT is such that a dubious ChatGPT app has soared to the top of the Apple App Store and the sketchy app is also charging a weekly subscription amount too.

AI research laboratory OpenAI's ChatGPT is free to use on the web for all who have an OpenAI account. However, it has inspired sketchy developers to take advantage of its popularity and develop dubious apps. One such sketchy app named "ChatGPT Chat GPT AI With GPT-3" is available on App Store, which appears to have no affiliation with Open AI, the creators of ChatGPT or the AI bot itself.

According to Austen Allred, CEO of Bloomtech, an ed-tech startup, the Apple App Store is full of apps that have no affiliation with OpenAI and are still trying to charge subscriptions for using ChatGPT.

"The iOS App Store is full of folks putting ChatGPT into a paid wrapper with ambiguous language that would let you believe you’re paying for ChatGPT," Allred tweeted.

According to a few reviews of the sketchy app, the subscription does not add any value to the app and it appears to be dubious.

To recall, AI research laboratory OpenAI announced ChatGPT, which is a dialogue-based AI chat interface for GPT-3 family of large language models in December last year. The world of tech and AI went abuzz with discussions of the AI bot by OpenAI, which is an impressive writer and is capable of understanding natural human language and producing detailed human-like written text. Announced by Elon Musk founded-independent AI research laboratory OpenAI, ChatGPT AI bot took over the internet by storm, soon after it was announced.
