OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence company, has announced that users will no longer need an account to use ChatGPT, their widely used artificial intelligence-based conversation platform. This decision aims to make AI accessible to all who are interested in its capabilities, expanding access to this leading technology.
Access to ChatGPT without an account
Until now, users had to register for an OpenAI account in order to use ChatGPT. However, as of now, OpenAI has made access to ChatGPT available without the need for an account. This move is part of OpenAI’s effort to make AI more accessible to everyone, allowing anyone curious about its capabilities to experiment with and use ChatGPT.
It is important to note that this new release applies only to ChatGPT and not to other OpenAI products, such as DALL-E 3. These products will continue to require an account for access, maintaining the value of OpenAI’s premium offerings.
The impact of ChatGPT
Since its launch in late 2022, ChatGPT has captured the attention of a global audience, with millions of users signing up for an OpenAI account in order to use this powerful AI-based conversational platform. ChatGPT quickly established itself as one of the fastest-growing services in history, with a weekly user base of more than 100 million in 185 countries.
Despite growing competition in the industry, with the emergence of similar products such as Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT remains the busiest AI-based chatbot site, attracting more than 1.6 billion visitors in February. Despite a slight decrease from its peak of more than 1.8 billion visits in May 2023, ChatGPT remains a benchmark in the industry.
New security measures
In announcing account-free access to ChatGPT, OpenAI also introduced new security measures to ensure a safer experience for users. These measures are aimed at restricting prompts in a wider range of categories, although exactly what these categories are is not specified.
In addition, OpenAI pointed out that users, even without an account, have the option to opt out of model training, allowing them to adjust the use of their interactions in refining OpenAI’s AI models.
