Searching for 'AI chat' in the Mac App Store reveals many counterfeit or lookalike apps.
The official ChatGPT desktop app from OpenAI is not available in the Mac App Store.
Many apps mimic the ChatGPT logo and name with slight variations in color and design.
App names often combine 'AI', 'Chat', and 'Bot' in various spacing and casing combinations.
Some apps even misspell names, like 'Al Chatbot' instead of 'AI Chatbot'.
The situation is compared to finding counterfeit products like 'Mike Jordans' in a store.
