With more people eager to test out the well-liked AI chatbot, OpenAI is witnessing unprecedented demand for ChatGPT. Additionally, the firm is now making it simple for everyone to use ChatGPT by doing away with the need for users to sign in with their accounts.
The AI chatbot was made available to the public by OpenAI, but only after users registered for an account on the platform, which gave them access to a number of features, including the ability to view their chat history.
Anyone Can Use ChatGPT, But Why?
Now that ChatGPT can be used without an account, OpenAI is prepared to roll out the AI chatbot to a wider audience. To provide the AI chatbot with more learning data and to encourage users to take a closer look—even those who have been avoiding it—OpenAI probably intends to extend the duration of ChatGPT’s use.
More than 100 million users in 185 countries use ChatGPT on a weekly basis for various purposes, according to OpenAI. Millions more people are encouraged to test the AI chatbot when the requirement for account sign-in is removed. However, OpenAI is quite upfront about the restrictions you would have while using ChatGPT without logging in to your account because it understands the necessity of collecting data to train the AI model.
Fewer Features Are Available on ChatGPT Without An Account
Although using ChatGPT without an account seems like a good idea, OpenAI says that unless you tell them not to, it will keep using your data to train the AI model.
As would be expected when utilising ChatGPT outside of the personalised mode, there will be some limitations to the new way of using the AI chatbot. These users won’t be able to store their communication history for subsequent viewing, according to OpenAI.
Chats that you have with others are erased each time you log off the platform. Additionally, OpenAI prevents you from using ChatGPT’s voice chat feature and personalizing the AI chatbot’s prompts.
Indeed, others who have not signed up for an account are likewise unable to access the conversations you have with the AI chatbot. Free-to-access platforms, as we have seen frequently, include a set of riders. This is the company’s way of saying, you have the freedom of choice, but you do need to sign in to use all the services.
