OpenAI announced that it would reduce its AI Chatbot ChatGPT The threshold for use, even withoutaccountUsers can also use it, but there will be certain restrictions.
From now on, users in some regions can access chat.openai.com You will no longer need to log in to interact with ChatGPT directly, and other regions around the world will also open login-free access. Log-free users can directly communicate with ChatGPT,The same model as the logged in user is used.
Free login users cannot enjoy some advanced features.For example, saving or sharing chat history, using custom commands, etc., these features usually require a permanent account to be associated with.
More importantly,Log-free users can choose to opt out of chat history for model training(This may be one of the main purposes of OpenAI's login-free feature.) Users only need to click the question mark icon in the lower right corner, then go to "Settings" and turn off the relevant function.
However, the logged-in version of ChatGPT will have "stricter content policies." What exactly does this mean? In response, an OpenAI spokesperson gave a lengthy but vague explanation: "The logged-in experience will benefit from existing safety measures built into the model, such as refusing to generate harmful content. In addition to these existing measures, we have implemented additional safeguards against the types of inappropriate content that may appear in the logged-in experience. We considered potential ways that the logged-in service could be abused and combined it with our understanding of GPT-3.5's capabilities and the risk assessment we conducted."
In other words, it’s unclear what exactly these stricter content policies will be. We’ll soon find out as a large number of users rush in to try out this new feature. “We recognize that further iteration may be needed and welcome user feedback,” said an OpenAI spokesperson.
In addition, OpenAI also gave a vague response to abuse: "We have also carefully considered how to detect and prevent abuse of the login-free experience. The team responsible for detecting, preventing, and responding to abuse participated in the design and implementation of the entire login-free experience and will continue to support its design."
OpenAI's response lacks any specific information. Perhaps, like us, they cannot anticipate how users will use this login-free feature, so they can only adopt a passive response strategy.
It is not yet clear which regions or user groups will be the first to receive ChatGPT login-free, but the program has been launched from now on.
