– OpenAI is making its flagship conversational AI accessible to everyone without needing to create an account
– Users can chat with ChatGPT without logging in, but will have limited features compared to logged-in users
– Users can opt out of having their chats used for training data, and the platform will have more restrictive content policies to prevent misuse
OpenAI is now making their flagship conversational AI available to everyone, even those without an account. By visiting chat.openai.com, users can chat with ChatGPT without the need to log in. However, without an account, users will not have access to certain features like saving chats or using custom instructions, and all conversations may still be used for training data unless the user opts out.
Users can opt out of having their chats used for training by clicking on a question mark icon and disabling the feature in the settings. This new version of ChatGPT will have slightly more restrictive content policies to prevent the generation of harmful content or inappropriate material. However, specifics on these restrictions have not been detailed by OpenAI.
The company acknowledges the potential for abuse and misuse of the AI model, and claims to have measures in place for detecting and preventing such behavior. However, details on these measures are lacking, and OpenAI may have to be reactive rather than proactive in addressing any issues that arise.
It is unclear which areas or groups will have access to the free version of ChatGPT first, but the service is gradually rolling out starting today. Users are encouraged to regularly check the site to see if they have access to this version of the AI.
