OpenAI, creators of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, have removed the account requirement to use the service. This change is designed to make the AI-powered chatbot more accessible for those who want to experience its capabilities without the hassle of creating an account.
While this means easier access to ChatGPT, users without an account will have some limitations. Features such as saving chat history, sharing conversations, custom instructions, and upgrading to a Plus subscription will remain exclusive to account holders.
OpenAI is also implementing further content safeguards for users without accounts. These safeguards are aimed at limiting the types of questions or prompts that can be submitted.
Despite some limitations, removing the account requirement is a significant move by OpenAI. It opens ChatGPT to a wider audience and lowers the barrier to entry for those curious about AI’s potential.
