The ChatGPT app for Mac is a fantastic AI and LLM tool that is a great addition to many Mac users’ workflows, whether you are extremely tech-savvy or just a novice. Some users wonder how to keep the ChatGPT app for Mac up to date and how to manually install ChatGPT updates if they need them.

ChatGPT will automatically update on Mac, if allowed

By default, ChatGPT will attempt to keep itself up to date and will notify you when using the application that a new version is available. You can then install the update immediately, skip it, or install it the next time you launch the app.

But you can also update ChatGPT manually on Mac, and it’s that easy.

How to Manually Update ChatGPT on Mac

1. Open ChatGPT on Mac
2. Pull down the “ChatGPT” menu and choose “Check for updates”



3. Choose to install updates now, ignore them, or the next time you relaunch the app

Regularly updating ChatGPT for Mac is important because the application is frequently updated with new features and capabilities, and if you use the tool, you should ensure that you are using the latest versions for this purpose (and ensure that bugs and security issues are fixed if detected).

So there you have it, it’s quite simple to install ChatGPT updates on Mac, right? For iPhone and iPad, it’s just as simple, but managed via the App Store on these devices.

Ironically, Google Search AI provides inaccurate information about ChatGPT update on Mac

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm and Google is breaking its own search engine experiment to try to catch up to ChatGPT with its “Gemini” search AI experiment, which is often wildly inaccurate. A new example concerns this article, which was sent to us by a reader who couldn’t understand why ChatGPT on his Mac was not being updated. The suggestion provided by Google Gemini when asked how to update ChatGPT on a Mac was inaccurate and false, which instead provided instructions on how to install macOS system software updates – and no, installing MacOS updates will not update ChatGPT.

Consider this another warning about trusting the AI ​​results you see in search results, especially now where AI-generated gibberish is being dumped into search results and is often inaccurate but will present the information as if it were true (this is sometimes referred to as a hallucination, that Google describes heresince LLMs don’t necessarily know what is true or false, but they will still provide a confident answer).

ChatGPT is almost certainly the most well-known chatbot, but it’s also probably the best LLM and AI tool, and while there are others, they tend to be less accurate or less capable.

By the way, if you are a fan of ChatGPT, AI and LLM tools, you might enjoy it. run an LLM like Llama locally on your Macwhich allows you to run uncensored models (uncensored in this case just means unbiased, because, strange as it may sound, basically all LLMs are intentionally trained with bias, and that should alarm us all, even those who are “okay” with the tilt and bias at the moment Do you want your AI’s information to be accurate, or do you want it to be biased and inaccurate?
