OpenAI announced that it has now enabled users to start using ChatGPT without an account. This means that instead of the usual practice of creating an account before using ChatGPT, you can now start experiencing the benefits of Artificial Intelligence instantly.
OpenAI made this known via a blog post today, saying this is core to its mission to make tools like ChatGPT broadly available so that people can experience the benefits of AI. So when you visit chat.openai.com, you will no longer be asked to log in….even though you can if you want to. Instead, you will start conversing with ChatGPT straight away.
This feature is available in some markets now and is gradually being rolled out “with the aim to make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities.”
There are certainly some limitations if you do not have an account. For instance, you will not have the ability to save and review your chat history, share chats, and unlock additional features like voice conversations and custom instructions.
OpenAI says “we may use what you provide to ChatGPT to improve our models for everyone. If you’d like, you can turn this off through your Settings – whether you create an account or not.”
