AI pioneer OpenAI has launched a new web-based platform for its AI assistant, ChatGPT, which allows users to interact with the assistant without registration or login. This move eliminates the need for user-specific data, thus enhancing accessibility to AI technology. OpenAI has ensured that the underlying code of the bot is closed source to protect its proprietary technology, while also emphasizing the role of safety features like moderation API in ensuring user-friendly interaction.
ChatGPT is used by over 100 million people weekly across 185 countries. The removal of mandatory sign-ups has now made AI technology more inclusive, though OpenAI states that comprehensive features will be introduced gradually, with availability varying according to location.
Despite the no-sign-up feature, users are still advised to create an account, which allows them to store their chat history, share transcripts, and access advanced features like custom rules and voice chats.

OpenAI’s user-friendly, inclusive ChatGPT platform
Users can explore a range of subjects, engage in open-ended conversations, practice language skills, get help with assignments, and even brainstorm creative ideas.
A revenue-earning model, ChatGPT Plus, has been introduced alongside the free model. This subscription-based model allows users early access to upcoming features, speedy responses, reliable performance, and the ability to design personalized chatbots, among other benefits.
OpenAI has also begun offering Custom GPTs, enabling users to customize chatbots using various instructions, documents, and internet links. Despite this innovation, there have been criticisms regarding the chatbot’s accuracy with OpenAI acknowledging these concerns and committing to refine its training and fine-tune its processes.
