ChatGPT was announced in 2022. Since then the AI chatbot from OpenAI has come a long way with a host of new features. The American AI research company continues to make developments as the chatbot can now be accessed without having to create an account. The latest update is rolling out gradually but it also comes with some drawbacks. 

ChatGPT can now be accessed without creating an account 

OpenAI in a blog post says that it aims to make AI available to anyone curious about its capabilities. Previously, users had to create an OpenAI account to gain access to ChatGPT. However, this will no longer be required going forward. Users can instantly start using it without having to sign up. Visiting the ChatGPT website will take you directly to the AI chatbot’s home screen. 

However, using ChatGPT directly without creating an account has its drawbacks. It won’t be able to save or share your chats and have voice conversations. TechCrunch reports that there will also be slightly more restrictive content policies. Hence, it’s recommended to use ChatGPT with a created account if you use it frequently. Additionally, other OpenAI products like DALL-E require one to create an account. The latest update is still beneficial for those who do not rely on ChatGPT much. 

ChatGPT continues to be a popular AI chatbot globally. Over 100 million individuals from 185 countries are said to be using it weekly. ChatGPT competes against Google’s Gemini which is gaining traction and also Microsoft’s Copilot.
