Yesterday in its spring update, OpenAI launched a fully-native Mac app for ChatGPT and also debuted its new flagship model, GPT-4o. A forthcoming ChatGPT app feature will give ChatGPT the ability to see everything happening on your device’s screen.
Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:
At launch, the ChatGPT Mac app supports manually capturing a screenshot, or uploading a file, to then query ChatGPT about it. But in the future, as seen in the video below, you’ll be able to click a button that gives the app access to anything and everything on your display.
This feature will apparently not be limited to the Mac, as the iOS & iPadOS app demonstrated the same technology in the tutoring example below.

MacDailyNews Take: There’s no release date, yet, for ChatGPT’s screen viewing features, but they’ll require the user’s consent to be activated when available.

Kind of scary if u ask me…
Can it also see my passwords ? , bank account numbers, balances , etc, basically critical privet info!
It’s kind of amazing if you ask me. My two cents: Using the yellow flag as a guild for good measure, don’t run the app when you are looking at your password manager, bank account numbers and balances, and other critical private information.
Of course… if you can trust switching i 1005 off once installed!
Thats the BIG CONCERN….
Is along the same lines as Apples attempt to embed a local surveillance code in IOS in guise of Child pornography concerns, which thank God , they have abandoned for now….
Corrected

And, it’s well known, when a user limits information and access, always means privacy & security. If there’s a law that prohibits viewing, then I know it’s absolutely safe.
Sounds like a major shitstorm and a libturd politician’s fantasy.
Screen scraping everything you do, by a moron CEO and company that lied about EVERYTHING in its existence. No open source. No non profit. It’s foundational a built-on-lie company.
So what could POSSIBLY go wrong by letting it scrape everything you do?
🙄
Any idiots using this, much less giving access to your screen, deserves everything coming to you.
Still no access to the ChatGPT Mac App 🙁
YIKES! Another attempt to sucker people into “convenience” over security and privacy!
No issues there, right? Good luck walking through that quagmire.
MDN is already used. It is Microsoft Developer Network.
I think you mean “MSDN”.
Just have the AI switch itself off if any passwords or pages marked “private” are displayed. If it isn’t intelligent enough to do this, what’s the point?
