Use ChatGPT for free: What you need to know

The free AI chat bot ChatGPT is currently the talk of the town. It can be found quite easily via the internet browser. However, there are many apps that are based on the open source product and are chargeable.

Use ChatGPT via the browser for free

Since early 2023, everyone has been talking about OpenAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) chat bot ChatGP. The tool responds to your queries in chat format and can answer simple questions as well as compose complex texts such as papers and essays.

• You can easily use the AI tool in your web browser by going to chat.openai.com.

• Before you start, you have to register there with your e-mail address and can then use the model free of charge.

• In the free version, however, there are unfortunately frequent overloads – especially in the early evening hours. Then the error message “ChatGPT is at capacity right now” is displayed and you cannot use the tool.

Costs of the Pro version: You have to reckon with this

A professional version of ChatGPT is also planned. It is not yet clear when this will be launched.

• The price for ChatGPT Pro will probably be around 42 US dollars (about 39 euros) per month. At least, this is the cost that emerges from a tweet by Saboo Shubham.

• One advantage of the Pro version will be that you can log in at any time. So a certain part of the server will always be blocked for the Pro customers, who will thus always be able to access the tool.

• In addition, new features could also be released for the Pro customers first.

Watch out for subscription traps with apps & Co.

But be wary of apps that take advantage of the open source model and want to make money with expensive subscription traps.

• There are now new apps in the various app stores, such as “Genie – AI Chatbot”, which are based on ChatGPT and which sometimes offer subscriptions with a price of up to 180 euros.

• OpenAI also offers paid services and products such as the GPT-3 service.

• However, there is no need to download an app and pay money if you want to try the AI tool on your phone as well. Just open the link with your phone and sign up.

• Currently, the website may be a little overloaded due to an increased demand. If this is the case, please try again at a later time.
