It is smart to want the real thing. Let us check it together.

The real ChatGPT is made by a company called OpenAI. The web address starts with chatgpt.com.

Look at the top bar of your browser. If the address says chatgpt.com, you are in the right place.

Try this
  1. Look at the web address at the top of your screen.
  2. Check that it reads chatgpt.com.
  3. If you are unsure, type chatgpt.com yourself and press enter.
  4. Avoid clicking links from emails or ads that promise ChatGPT.
