Deep dives

ChatGPT Goes Retro

OpenAI has launched a service that allows users to access ChatGPT via landline phones, reminiscent of the technology from the 1970s. Users in the US and Canada can now dial a dedicated number to interact with ChatGPT, but access is limited to just 15 minutes per month, after which the line goes dead. The initiative is positioned as a way to increase accessibility to AI, targeting especially those who might not use modern smartphones. Despite this claim, the restrictions suggest a strategy to encourage subscriptions for broader access.
