Would You Call AI?
By Movieguide® Contributor
AI is further advancing, this time via telephone lines. Open AI released a new form of ChatGPT that is just a phone call away. Users can now call 1-800-242-8478 and speak to an automated phone line to ask a variety of questions. The feature can also respond via text message.
The launch was part of the 10th day of “shipmas.”
The Verge reported, “OpenAI sees this feature as an important steppingstone for newcomers to AI, since the service represents a simplified version of ChatGPT compared to its web-based counterpart and offers a ‘low-cost way to try it out through familiar channels.’ The company notes that existing users seeking more comprehensive features, higher usage limits, and personalization options should continue using their regular ChatGPT accounts through traditional channels.”
Google offered a similar feature in 2007, but it was discontinued in 2010 for unknown reasons.
This new feature adds to OpenAI’s competition with Google.
Movieguide previously reported:
“Google’s search monopoly may have a new competitor now that OpenAI’s launched its own search engine, SearchGPT. ‘ChatGPT search offers up-to-the-minute sports scores, stock quotes, news, weather and more, powered by real-time web search and partnerships with news and data providers, according to the company,’ CNBC reported Oct. 31. ‘It began beta-testing the search engine, called SearchGPT, in July.’ ‘The release could have implications for Google as the dominant search engine,’ CNBC adds. ‘Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Alphabet investors have been concerned that OpenAI could take market share from Google in search by giving consumers new ways to seek information online.’ Alphabet’s shares dropped approximately 1% after OpenAI announced the news.”
