ChatGPT app for Mac is a great AI tool and LLM that is a great addition to the workflow of many Mac users, whether you are extremely tech-savvy or just a novice. One thing some users wonder about is how to keep the ChatGPT app for Mac updated and how to manually install ChatGPT updates if necessary.

ChatGPT will automatically update on Mac if allowed

By default ChatGPT will try to keep itself updated and notify you when a new version is available when you use the app. You can then install the update immediately, ignore it, or install it on the next app restart.

But you can also update ChatGPT on Mac manually and it is easy too.

Manually Update ChatGPT on Mac

  1. Open ChatGPT on Mac
  2. Pull down the “ChatGPT” menu and select “Check for Updates”
  3. Check for updates on ChatGPTCheck for updates on ChatGPT

  4. Choose to install updates now, skip them, or install them on the next restart of the application
  5. ChatGPT update has finished installing and is ready to rebootChatGPT update has finished installing and is ready to reboot

It’s important to update ChatGPT for Mac because the app is frequently updated with new features and capabilities, and if you’re using the tool, you’ll want to make sure you’re running the latest versions for that purpose (and bugs and security issues, if found, are resolved).

That’s it, installing ChatGPT updates on Mac is pretty easy, right? For iPhone and iPad, this process is just as simple, but is done through the App Store on those devices instead.

Ironically, Google Search AI Provides Incorrect Information About Updating ChatGPT on Mac

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm, and Google is busy disrupting its own search engine experience to try to catch up with ChatGPT with its often wildly inaccurate “Gemini” search AI experience. There’s a recent example related to this article, sent to us by a reader who couldn’t figure out why ChatGPT wasn’t updating on their Mac. Google Gemini’s advice when asked how to update ChatGPT on Mac was inaccurate and incorrect; instead the following instructions were given: 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 where AI-generated gibberish is now included in search results and is often inaccurate but will present information as if it were true (sometimes called hallucinations, What Google defines herebecause Masters may not know exactly what is right or wrong, but they will still give a confident answer).

ChatGPT is almost certainly the most widely 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 like it a lot Running an LLM like Llama locally on your Macwhich allows you to run uncensored models (in this case uncensored means unbiased, because as strange as it sounds, basically all Masters are deliberately trained with bias, and this should alarm us all, even the ‘hardened’ ones.) Do you want it to be accurate or do you want it to be biased and inaccurate?)
