It was inevitable. Unscrupulous folks decided to cash in on ChatGPT’s financial successes by tossing some fake ones out there for cell phones – and they’re making some money, fleeceware, etc.

See this article by the experts at Sophos for more.

The immediate list you should delete from your phone at the time of this writing:

• Open Chat GBT – AI Chatbot App
• AI Chatbot – Ask AI Assistant
• AI Chat GBT – Open Chatbot App
• AI Chat – Chatbot AI Assistant
• Genie – AI Chatbot
• AI Chatbot – Open Chat Writer

More on these fake ChatGPT’s can be found on Tom’s Hardware in an in-depth article, which includes how to use the legitimate ChatGPT.

It should go without saying that you should always get software from the source and if deals look too good to be true, they probably are.
