Desktop app for ChatGPT?
  • Thank you, I realised that once I installed GPT4All! I’ve got Llama going now, and will look at upgrading my RAM to accommodate a larger model like Falcon if I feel I need it. I’ve learned a lot this morning, it’s been great!

  • Desktop app for ChatGPT?

    Forgive me if this question is a bit silly, or conceptually incorrect (I’m not fully across how the APIs work and effect ChatGPT implementations etc).

    I’m looking for a ChatGPT (or similar) desktop app. HemulGM’s ChatGPT app is tempting, especially because it seems to include/support DALL-E and GPT-3 and -4, but I haven’t found much discussion online from users. My biggest concern is security…I chickened out before running the .exe due to Windows’ “unknown dev” warning, and because the dev’s website is a .ru address (hate to say it, but that’s a yellow flag for me in today’s cyber climate).

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this particular desktop app? Or better alternatives? Ideally free and open-source, but I know that may be asking a lot and I’m open to suggestions.

    Appreciate it!

    LPT: If a device is telling you to install an app, try using it without the app first. You may avoid giving your personal data over to a random company.

    Bought a UE Boom 3 for my partner, and it demanded we download the app and connect to WiFi in order to use it.

    We did not obey the machine, and now the machine obeys us. (It works fine with no app or internet, because why the hell should a Bluetooth speaker need an app or internet to work).

    Unfortunately not going to be applicable to everything, but thought I’d throw this out there. If at least one person can avoid installing an unnecessary app to use something they’ve already paid for, then I’m happy.
