Now, accessing the free version of the popular artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT is easier than ever. No account creation is required, simplifying the process for users. This update aims to enhance user experience and streamline accessibility to ChatGPT’s functionalities. However, please note that this change does not extend to paid OpenAI products like DALL-E 3 or the advanced version of ChatGPT Plus.
Account Requirements for Premium Features
While the free version is more accessible, certain premium features still necessitate an account. This includes access to the DALL-E image generator and other paid OpenAI products tailored for specific users and partners, such as the Sora video generation platform and VoiceEngine AI. Additionally, the advanced version of ChatGPT based on the GPT-4 neural network requires user registration. We’ll keep you updated on any further developments in account requirements for accessing premium features.
Protective Measures and Data Privacy
OpenAI places a strong emphasis on user privacy and data protection. Unregistered users utilizing ChatGPT can opt out of contributing their data for AI training. Moreover, OpenAI has implemented additional protective measures to safeguard both users and the platform. These measures include blocking requests on a wide range of forbidden topics, though specifics of this list are not disclosed. We’ll ensure you stay informed about any updates to these protective measures.
Global Reach and Popularity
ChatGPT boasts a significant global user base, with over 100 million weekly users spanning 185 countries. Traffic tracking service SimilarWeb indicates a staggering 1.6 billion visitors in February 2024 alone, solidifying ChatGPT’s position as the world’s most popular chatbot. It closely rivals Google’s Gemini, which purportedly garnered 1.8 billion monthly unique visitors in May of the previous year, notes NIX Solutions.
