Why does the ChatGPT Mac app only work on Apple Silicon Macs?

I haven’t looked much at the newly announced stuff from OpenAI but but I wonder what the app does for it to only work on Apple Silicon Macs. Most Mac Apps can work on Intel as well given they don’t use code specific to the Intel or AS architectures, like say, Parallels which probably runs some low level code in the background for virtualization.

Anyway, it doesn’t seem like its much more than wrapper for the online ChatGPT services and isn’t donig anything on device. I wonder if its just a matter of compiling the app for Intel Macs, and limiting it to AS is part of a gradual rollout or something, you know OpenAI loves doing those :slight_smile:
