OpenAI has announced that users can now access its ChatGPT generative AI chatbot without the need for registration. ChatGPT is renowned for its capacity to mimic human-like conversation and perform diverse tasks, such as summarizing lengthy texts, composing poetry, and generating ideas for theme parties. Headquartered in San Francisco, OpenAI aims to expand the reach of AI by gradually introducing this feature, catering to the curiosity of those intrigued by its potential.
Despite experiencing rapid user growth and achieving a record for the fastest accumulation of a large user base, the service encountered a plateau in expansion, peaking at 1.8 billion web visits in May 2023, according to Similarweb. To ensure a secure experience for users accessing ChatGPT without registration, OpenAI has enhanced its content safety measures by expanding the range of restricted prompts and outputs, although the specific categories remain undisclosed.
OpenAI continues to offer various tiers of ChatGPT services, including a free version that functions without internet connectivity, as well as premium options tailored to individual, team, and enterprise requirements. The company has also mentioned the possibility of utilizing user-provided content to refine its language models, with users having the option to opt out.
This announcement comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, by Elon Musk approximately a month earlier, criticizing the deviation from the company’s original mission of developing AI technology for the global good rather than for profit.
