for day 10 Open artificial intelligenceAs part of its “12 Days of Shipmas” event, the company decided to go a bit old-school and launched a phone number for people to call and talk to ChatGPT.
US users can dial 1-800-ChatGPT (1-800-242-8478) from any device that can make calls, including rotary phones, as OpenAI demonstrated in its live broadcast. If you have an international number, you can use WhatsApp to send a message to ChatGPT.
ChatGPT has a web version, which may seem strange, mobile application The desktop apps on iOS and Android and on MacOS and Windows will require a phone number to ask ChatGPT questions. But OpenAI explains that the feature is ideal for those without a consistent data connection.
Deploy artificial intelligence wherever possible
OpenAI says this feature enables wider access to ChatGPT. After all, calling a phone number is usually free for people who may not have unlimited data or aren’t near a Wi-Fi connection.
However, anyone who wants to call ChatGPT can only do so for 15 minutes per month.
This isn’t the first time a tech company has used phone calls or text messages to expand its user base. In a country like the Philippines, Facebook Provides a way for people to use text messages Post on social media platform. This has proven to be a boon for expanding Facebook’s reach in the Philippines, where most people own mobile phones, though not necessarily smartphones. Filipinos are now among the largest users of the social network.
ChatGPT is not harmful to users. Even though the market competition is more intense, it is still one of the most used artificial intelligence platforms. OpenAI said its commercial products include ChatGPT Enterprise, Team and Edu, More than 1 million logged-in users As of September. A month ago, ChatGPT itself Users reach 200 million.
OpenAI offers ChatGPT for free, but it offers more advanced models and other powerful features for Plus, Teams, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu tier subscribers.
“This is an experimental way of talking to ChatGPT, so availability and limitations are subject to change,” the company said. “For a fuller experience with more tools, higher limits, and more personalization, existing users should continue Use ChatGPT directly through their account.”
shortcoming
Calling ChatGPT feels like using OpenAI’s Voice Advanced speech model. I called ChatGPT to get some ideas on what to do during my layover in Tokyo. As expected, it gave me some advice.
But the difference is that I don’t get a readout of the conversation with ChatGPT. If I use Advanced Voice Mode, anything we discuss is converted into a written chat that I can review when I’m logged into my account.
I also highly doubt any developer would call ChatGPT and ask it to write any code.
But this feature is fun and actually works. Not bad for something OpenAI developers created for Hack Week a few weeks ago.
