Now you can use ChatGPT without an account

OpenAI ukinja nujno registracijo računa in tako odpira ChatGPT za vse uporabnike. Bo pa registracija še vedno nujna recimo za DALLE-3, katerega uporaba je še vedno plačljiva. “We're rolling this out gradually with the goal of making AI accessible to anyone interested in its capabilities,” je OpenAI zapisal v objavi na blogu.

Since ChatGPT was first introduced in late 2022, interested users have been required to log into an OpenAI account. The chatbot has proven extremely popular and ChatGPT has become one of the fastest growing services ever. The company then added paid subscriptions to access other products, such as the DALL-E 3 and more advanced models. Users will thus still need an account to store and view chat history, chat sharing, and voice conversations.

OpenAI reports that over 100 million people in 185 countries use ChatGPT weekly. Web traffic tracker SimilarWeb, however, announced that ChatGPT, with an estimated 1.6 billion visitors in February, remains the most visited chatbot, although Google's Gemini is also slowly gaining momentum. However, ChatGPT's traffic has declined slightly from the highs reached in May 2023, when the estimated number of visits exceeded 1.8 billion.

OpenAI dodaja, da je uvedel “dodatne zaščitne ukrepe glede upravljanja z vsebino”, vključno z blokiranjem pozivov v širšem naboru kategorij. Zaenkrat še ni jasno, kaj točno so te kategorije. Bo pa še vedno na voljo možnost zavrnitve usposabljanja modelov – tako da bodo lahko uporabniki ChatGPT-ja sami izbirali, ali se sme njihova dejavnost uporabiti za usposabljanje modelov OpenAI.

Meanwhile, other OpenAI products, such as the newly announced AI voice cloning service Voice Engine and video creation platform Sora, remain available only to a limited number of users and partners and are not part of the benefits of an OpenAI account.
