ChatGPT Mac App: "Super App" is a Super Mess

The new ChatGPT app for Mac is described as a "mess." Users trying to update the old ChatGPT app will get an updated version of the old one, not the new app. To get the new ChatGPT app, you must manually re-download it from OpenAI's website or have Codex installed. The new "Super App" is reportedly a merge of Codex and ChatGPT, designed to look and act like Anthropic's Claude Mac app. However, the Claude Mac app is also described as a mess. The new ChatGPT app is seemingly no longer a native Mac app but an Electron package, which can impact performance. A significant issue is the user interface choices. The app launches into 'ChatGPT Work,' which is confusing. This branding is meant to evoke 'Claude Cowork' but can be misinterpreted as an enterprise version or a tool for office work. The bottom line is that the new ChatGPT app's design choices and functionality are creating confusion for users.
