OpenAI Introduces Free Access to ChatGPT AI Chatbot
The San Francisco-based company, OpenAI, has announced that it will start allowing users to access its ChatGPT generative AI chatbot without the need to sign up for the service. This move is aimed at making AI more accessible to individuals interested in exploring its capabilities.
Features of ChatGPT
- ChatGPT kickstarted the GenAI trend in late 2022.
- It can mimic human conversation and perform various tasks, including creating summaries of long text, writing poems, and generating ideas for events like theme parties.
Content Safeguards and Offerings
OpenAI has introduced additional content safeguards for users accessing ChatGPT without signing up. These safeguards include blocking prompts and generations in a wider range of categories, although the specific categories were not disclosed.
In addition to the free version of ChatGPT, which operates without direct internet access, OpenAI also provides paid versions tailored for individuals, team users, and enterprises.
User-Provided Content and Improvements
OpenAI may utilize content provided by users to enhance its large-language models. However, users have the option to disable this feature if they choose to do so.
This development follows a recent lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. Musk alleged that the company had strayed from its original mission of developing AI for the betterment of humanity rather than for profit.
