OpenAI Release Season (Day 10): 1-800 Number
In a world where technology is advancing faster than a caffeinated cheetah, OpenAI has decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the good old days of rotary phones and landlines. Yes, you heard it right! OpenAI has introduced a 1-800 number that allows users to call ChatGPT. This move is part of OpenAI's "12 Days of OpenAI" event, a festive season of announcements that has tech enthusiasts buzzing like bees in a flower shop. So, grab your phone (or your grandma's rotary dial) and let's dive into the details of this intriguing development.
The 1-800-CHATGPT Service: A Blast from the Past
OpenAI's new service, 1-800-CHATGPT, is a toll-free number that allows users in the U.S. to engage in voice conversations with ChatGPT. The service offers 15 minutes of free chat time per month, after which users will need to pay a fee. This initiative is designed to make AI more accessible to those who might not have easy access to digital devices or prefer the traditional method of communication—talking on the phone.
The phone number, 1-800-242-8478, is not just a gimmick but a functional service that brings ChatGPT to users' telephones. OpenAI's Chief Product Officer, Kevin Weil, emphasized the company's mission to make artificial general intelligence beneficial and accessible to all of humanity. This move is a step towards achieving that goal by bridging the digital divide and reaching audiences who might not be tech-savvy.
