ChatGPT Is Apple's Most Downloaded App of 2025 (techcrunch.com) 20
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Apple on Wednesday released its annual list of the most downloaded apps and games for the year. For the U.S. market, OpenAI's ChatGPT topped the ranks of free iPhone apps (not including games) with the most installs in 2025. The AI app was followed by Threads, Google, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, and Google's Gemini. ChatGPT made it to No. 4 last year, but the top spot was taken by Chinese shopping app Temu. In 2023, the AI app didn't make the top-10 list despite being released on the iPhone in May 2023 to a strong debut.

The "AI" is not user-friendly enough yet. I'll wait until it understands simple monosyllables and rude gestures from the coming Mowgli generation.

Did she type, "download chatgpt" into a n-million chat group? Perhaps she's to blame...
Let me know what she's planning to type next and I'll look at buying some shares.
Its a little like "slashdotting" in years gone by...yeah, I'm that old.

What a surprise that it's not the app that is spammed all over Slashdot!

That's why only a fool would think AI has no future- the shit is crack to everyone I know under the age of 30.

Unfortunately only a fool assumes a future is purely monetary.
You're an idiot.
That’s how we ended up with a nation full of social media junkies trying to prostitute their value snorting pure narcissism.
Yes, that's the evidence that you're an idiot.
If we’re going for pure value, might as well legalize meth. Why let morals get in the way now? Not like the effort was there before the suicide rate for 12-year olds went through the roof.
Man, you really had to reach for that one, lol.
Let's do alcohol while we're at it. And the one I know you really wanna ban- porn.
Perhaps then we can move on to articles unfavorable to conservative authoritarian governments.

I was wondering that. A PWA would be sufficient, and (almost) always be up to date.
This is not really good (Score:3)
From https://www.theregister.com/20... [theregister.com], we learn that AI use is making young people in the U.S. weaker in their thinking skills. Why think when you can just ask some dumb oracle and paste its answers into whatever. The same fate awaits U.S. companies who go all in on this crap.
