ChatGPT from OpenAI is the latest addition to WA through which users can directly engage with the AI chatbot. This development should provide further assistance when people need the help of artificial intelligence, using familiar means of communication.
WhatsApp adding ChatGPT as one of its bots is a step in the right direction in increasing access to AI help. Yet users should be aware of its current drawbacks and be very careful when it comes to issues of privacy using this particular service.
In what can be termed as one in the series of product rollouts in its ‘12 days of OpenAI’ campaign, Microsoft-funded OpenAI has launched its AI chatbot into Meta’s WhatsApp. As stated in OpenAI’s latest announcement video, users can interact with ChatGPT via messaging, this WhatsApp, without installing a new app or registering for a new account.
This integration has been launched by OpenAI internationally, and Americans can now call 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) to speak to ChatGPT. The phone call feature uses Advanced Voice Mode to allow users to speak with other people. OpenAI said this capability allows the use of ChatGPT where there is no internet connection.
The launch means that any of the 2.7 billion WhatsApp users globally can now interact with the AI tool through the platform, or anyone in the US can make a voice call to 1-800-ChatGPT to engage in a conversation with the AI.
