ChatGPT, launched over two years ago as an online chat-capable AI bot, is now accessible via phone. By calling 1-800-242-8478 in the US, users can try OpenAI\u2019s chatbot without downloading the app, which the company announced is particularly useful for those lacking consistent access to high-speed data. Globally, users can also interact with ChatGPT by messaging the number on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/whatsapps-introduces-feature-to-remind-users-of-unseen-messages\/\">WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI provides 15 minutes per month for users to call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandligo.com\/blog\/openai-announces-recovery-of-chatgpt-service-after-extended-outage\/\">ChatGPT<\/a>, describing the feature as an \u201cexperimental way\u201d to interact with the AI, though it offers less personalization compared to the app. Developed in just a few weeks as part of OpenAI\u2019s \u201c12 Days of OpenAI\u201d campaign, the feature has raised questions about potential over-reliance on its human-like voice technology. OpenAI requires users to agree to its Terms of Use and privacy policy before using the service, which includes clauses about data collection and safety reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Amid these advancements, OpenAI faces intense competition and pressure to become profitable, contending with Google\u2019s innovative AI tools, Elon Musk\u2019s xAI, Meta AI, and Microsoft\u2019s Bing, which incorporates OpenAI\u2019s technology. In October, OpenAI secured $6.6 billion in funding, bringing its valuation to $157 billion. When asked about profitability, the chatbot humorously remarked that while OpenAI plans to achieve it, \u201cI don\u2019t handle any money myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a user dialed 1-800-CHATGPT on Wednesday, a female voice on the other end shared a recipe for chocolate chip cookies and summarized the Civil War, but it avoided personal conversation. \u201cI don\u2019t have feelings, but I do find my job pretty interesting,\u201d the chatbot said.
