OpenAI announced that starting today, you can access ChatGPT instantly, without the need to sign up. Our mission is to make tools like ChatGPT widely accessible, allowing people worldwide to explore the benefits of AI. With more than 100 million users across 185 countries engaging with ChatGPT weekly, we’re dedicated to providing a platform for learning, creativity, and inquiry.
This new feature is being rolled out gradually, with the goal of making AI accessible to anyone interested in its capabilities. Whether you’re seeking to learn something new, find creative inspiration, or get answers to your questions, ChatGPT is now at your fingertips.
As part of our commitment to user privacy, you have the option to control how your interactions with ChatGPT are used for model improvement. You can easily manage this setting through your preferences, whether you choose to create an account or not. OpenAI offers this helpful gif:
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, we’ve implemented additional content safeguards, including blocking prompts and generations in various categories. While instant access offers convenience, creating an account unlocks additional features such as saving chat history, sharing chats, and accessing voice conversations and custom instructions.
For those hesitant to create an account but curious about AI’s potential, now is the perfect opportunity to start using ChatGPT. While instant access provides a wealth of opportunities for engaging with AI, users with accounts enjoy enhanced features and capabilities.
It’s important to note that while instant access provides extensive functionality, some features, such as saving and sharing chats or using custom instructions, are exclusive to account holders. However, you still retain control over how your interactions contribute to model improvement.
Additionally, our team has implemented “slightly more restrictive content policies” to ensure a safe and positive experience for all users. While specifics were not disclosed, these policies build upon existing safety measures to address potential misuse and inappropriate content.
As we introduce this new offering, we welcome feedback from our users. Your input is invaluable as we continue to refine and improve the ChatGPT experience. We’re committed to addressing any challenges that arise and ensuring that ChatGPT remains a valuable resource for learning and exploration.
While access to ultra-free ChatGPT will be gradually extended, we encourage you to check back regularly to see if you’re among the first to enjoy this exciting new feature. Join us as we embark on this journey to make AI more accessible to all.
