OpenAI officially released the iOS app of ChatGPT last night, and the official version of ChatGPT has officially entered the mobile phone terminal (various counterfeit apps may lose their jobs [dog]).
Now you can download the app in the App Store, the name of this app is "OpenAI ChatGPT".
I also downloaded and experienced it for the first time, let's quickly take a look at what its interface looks like:
However, the iOS version of ChatGPT is currently only available in the United States. If you want to use it, you need an American account. It is worth mentioning that OpenAI said that they will launch an Android version later, and by then, it will become a reality for everyone to use ChatGPT easily and conveniently on their mobile phones.
This means that ChatGPT is about to complete its deployment in the two major mobile ecological camps of iOS and Android, and billions of smartphone users around the world will have the opportunity to access ChatGPT more conveniently.
ChatGPT's user base is about to expand rapidly again, and the rapid growth of these users and data will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the iteration of the GPT model.
Of course, generative AI will also affect almost everyone on the planet more rapidly and deeply.
In terms of price, ChatGPT on iOS is also free to use, and at the same time integrates Whisper, we can directly voice input. ChatGPT Plus users can also use GPT-4 functions directly in the iOS version of ChatGPT.
Overall, the functions of the iOS version of ChatGPT are basically the same as those of the web version, such as instant Q&A, giving customized suggestions, providing creative inspiration, providing professional assistance in productivity, and helping users learn languages, history, etc.
What impresses me is that the voice input response speed and quality of the iOS version of ChatGPT are not bad, and there is nothing wrong with speaking a relatively long paragraph at a time.
However, the "magic skills" plug-in function of the web version of ChatGPT is not supported by the iOS version of ChatGPT, and OpenAI has not given relevant instructions. If the mobile ChatGPT has the ability to call various apps in the future, its practicality will be significantly improved.
Next, let's take a look at the real skills of the iOS version of ChatGPT through actual questions.
First of all, we asked the iOS version of ChatGPT to answer the difference between it and the web version.
It answered honestly that it has basically the same functions as the web version of ChatGPT, and its comprehension ability and knowledge base are also basically the same, but because it has a different interface and interaction method, there will be differences in user experience.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to adapt to the screen interface of the mobile phone, it will also refine the reply into one or two sentences, which is convenient for users to refer to.
The emergence of the mobile version of ChatGPT will inevitably have a certain impact on the intelligent voice assistant on the mobile phone, but ChatGPT obviously does not understand the question of what kind of impact it will have.
However, the web version of ChatGPT currently supports the plug-in function, which can obtain more powerful functions. If the ChatGPT on the mobile terminal can also be connected to various applications on the mobile terminal to achieve quick calls, then such a trivial matter as checking the route should not be a problem.
In terms of giving dietary advice, the performance of the iOS version of ChatGPT can be said to be quite satisfactory. Although the suggestions are reasonable, they lack some new ideas and surprises. If it can ask us what we like to eat and what taboos we have before giving suggestions , may appear more "smart and warm".
Finally, I asked the iOS version of ChatGPT to write an 800-word speech on the theme of "The Impact of Generative AI on Mobile Phones".
Judging from the results, the writing ability of the iOS version of ChatGPT is indeed "housekeeping skills". The articles generated by it have a certain logic, and the "influence" is also discussed from both positive and negative aspects, and the content is reasonable and well-founded . If it is regarded as an "emergency speech", it basically meets the standard.
Release the full text of the speech generated by the iOS version of ChatGPT for you to experience:
After the overall experience, there are a few feelings worth sharing.
First of all, when we use voice input, the text displayed in the app will overlap the simplified and traditional characters.
Secondly, for some "localization" requirements, the accuracy of the answers given is still relatively average.
Finally, network fluency may have a certain impact on user experience, and network fluctuations may cause "stuck" in the generation of answer content.
However, there is one thing to say, it is indeed a very novel experience to be able to chat with ChatGPT through voice input on a mobile phone, and the convenience brought by ChatGPT on the mobile phone and the characteristics of using it anytime and anywhere have also become its outstanding advantages.
Conclusion: ChatGPT has entered the mobile terminal, and smartphones will be more "smart"!
The emergence of ChatGPT has given all kinds of smart hardware products a new direction for technological updates, and the landing of ChatGPT on the smartphone side may have a subversive impact on all smartphone voice assistants. It is worth paying attention to how various mobile phone manufacturers will respond.
The launch of ChatGPT on smartphones will undoubtedly improve the ability of smartphones to understand users and solve their needs. Whether the integration of ChatGPT technology will bring a slight increase in sales to the smartphone market, which has fallen to the bottom of sales, may also be a more interesting concern.
