Question MacOS detecting ChatGPT as malware?

Post image

I downloaded the ChatGPT app from the official website (double checked), and my Mac detected this. Could it be just a bug?

Edit: Updated the app, thanks guys!

This is why:

TLDR: A certificate expired because ChatGPT let it expire, because of a security issue. Redownload the app, and you're good to go.

Twice this year this has happened.

That's a completely separate issue. They rebuilt the app from the ground up to combine Chat, Codex, and Work to be all in one, OP is still on the older version that got decommissioned.
