OpenAI Drops ChatGPT Login Rules to Gather More Data, Despite Accuracy and Moderation Concerns
- OpenAI has dropped login requirements for the free version of ChatGPT in some regions, allowing anyone to access the AI assistant powered by GPT-3.5
- Removing barriers to entry could help OpenAI gather more data to improve future AI models and potentially upsell users to paid versions
- However, GPT-3.5 is less accurate than paid models like GPT-4 Turbo, so this could reinforce unrealistic expectations about AI capabilities
- Allowing automated abuse and kids' use (against ToS) are potential downsides; OpenAI claims new safeguards against harmful content
- With rivals surpassing GPT-3.5, providing such wide access to an inferior free model may not benefit OpenAI long-term
