OpenAI now lets you use ChatGPT without an account
ChatGPT is used by millions of people around the world and has come a long way since its founding in 2022. AI tools, which initially gained popularity for their human-like responses, are now part of the daily lives of many users. More than a year after its launch, OpenAI has now decided to make this tool available to everyone, even those who do not have an account to use the AI chatbot. Until now, if you wanted to talk to ChatGPT, it was mandatory to create an account. But this has changed and now you can easily use AI tools without worrying about creating an account. However, there is a catch here too.
No account required to use ChatGPT
In a blog post, OpenAI announced that users no longer need an account to use ChatGPT. “Making tools like ChatGPT widely available is at the core of our mission so people can experience the benefits of AI. More than 100 million people in 185 countries tune in weekly to learn something new, find creative inspiration, and get their questions answered. “Starting today, you can use ChatGPT immediately without signing up,” the company said.
The company also said that they will be rolling out the feature gradually and hope to make the AI tool “accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities.”
It’s unclear which regions will be the first to be able to use ChatGPT without an account, so we recommend you keep checking to see if you can talk to the AI chatbot without signing up.
With that said, OpenAI also added in its blog post that even if you don’t create an account, everything you share with ChatGPT is used by the company to train its AI tools. May go. Of course, if you opt out of this, the company says that your data will not be used.
The blog post states, “You can use what you provide to ChatGPT to improve our models for all of us. If you prefer, you can turn this off through your settings – Whether you create an account or not.”
What are the restrictions?
So, what restrictions are we talking about if you use ChatGPT without an account?
First, if you talk to an AI tool without signing up your chats can’t be saved or shared. This means that your conversations will be erased once you close the ChatGPT website and you have no way to retrieve them. You can’t even share your conversations.
Additionally, features like voice conversations and custom instructions will only be available to those who have an account.
“There are many benefits to creating an account including the ability to save and review your chat history, share chats, and unlock additional features like voice conversations and custom instructions.”
According to a report from TechCrunch, those using ChatGPT without an account will also have “slightly more restrictive content policies.” However, OpenAI does not go into further detail about these restrictive policies.
