OpenAI today announced support for a new phone-based ChatGPT experience, which can be accessed by calling or texting 1-800-ChatGPT (1-800-242-8478). The feature was introduced as part of OpenAI's ongoing 12 days of OpenAI event.


The 1-800-ChatGPT phone number is designed for situations where a data connection is unavailable, but a cellular connection works. With the feature, ChatGPT can provide answers to questions over the phone with voice-based responses, and even landlines are supported. Texting ChatGPT can be done through WhatsApp using the same number, but images and videos aren't supported at this time.

Any U.S. phone number can contact ChatGPT and get 15 minutes of response time for free without an OpenAI account, but downloading the app and creating an account allows for additional call time.

OpenAI says that the dedicated phone number is an experimental way to talk to ChatGPT, so availability and limits could change in the future.

If you can find a telephone connected to an actual copper telephone line, yes it does work with that.

They just said when a cellular data connection is not available so the kids these days would understand the concept.
YAY!!!!

I wonder how many people will call an AI to discuss their relationship - just because it is an AI and many people think that it is smarter than humans …

Well, I just tried out the WhatsApp integration (from Canada) and it works great! Definitely smarter than my roommate!

Too bad you couldn’t configure your iPhone that when it needs to go to ChatGPT that only a Siri voice or text to Siri would send the request that way they could not collect your voice fingerprint data. :rolleyes:
 
Soon ChatGPT is the President/King/Queen etc on Earth - that's it.
As long as Siri won't take over Apple 🤯
