On Monday, the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI announced that users will no longer need to register to access its free ChatGPT generative AI chatbot. 

 In late 2022, GenAI gained significant traction with the introduction of ChatGPT. This AI chatbot, designed to mimic human conversation, demonstrated its versatility by writing poems, summarizing lengthy texts, and even generating theme party ideas. 

According to the San Francisco-based startup, the feature will be gradually released to "make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities."

According to data analytics company Similarweb, ChatGPT, a well-known service, experienced a remarkable surge in its user base, setting a record for the fastest-growing user base. However, since May 2023, when its traffic peaked at 1.8 billion web visits, the growth has shown signs of slowing down.

For users accessing ChatGPT without creating an account, OpenAI claims to have added more content protections, including blocking prompts and generations across a more extensive range of categories. These categories were not specified. 

In addition to ChatGPT's free version, which lacks direct Internet access, OpenAI provides paid versions of the program for individuals, groups, and businesses.

The business added that users can disable the feature, but it may use user-provided content to enhance its large-language models. 

The action was taken approximately a month after OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, were sued by billionaire investor Elon Musk, who claimed that they had abandoned the startup's initial goal of developing artificial intelligence for the good of humanity rather than for financial gain.
