[embedded post] X: @openai : You can now talk to ChatGPT by calling 1-800-ChatGPT (1-800-242-8478) in the U.S. or by sending a WhatsApp message to the same number—available everywhere ChatGPT is. [video] Lorenzo Ancona / @lorenzo_ancona : It's fun that Meta doesn't deploy its AI in the EU on WhatsApp but it's now lending its services to OpenAI to do almost the same [image] Julien Lesaicherre / @jlesaicherre : Big move. Congrats @WhatsApp and @OpenAI team! You just made AI accessible to billions of people. 🫶 [image] Brij Singh / @brij : OpenAI is using a distribution playbook similar to the one WhatsApp used to build its massive user base. This is brilliant, as it rapidly expands their user base and helps them discover new use cases (interactive voice chat in local languages using regular phone!). Interesting [image] @koltregaskes : Er, thanks, @OpenAI, I think? The WhatsApp messaging is cool, saves me having to hack it with the API now. Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : calling ChatGPT and WhatsApping ChatGPT are clearly a play for two things: lower income users w/o lots of data when you may not have data, but have calling more rural international users if you live somewhere Meta is really the internet and you don't have much bandwidth Junyang Lin / @justinlin610 : Phone call? Seriously? Kylie Robison / @kyliebytes : perhaps the first question from the verge newsroom includes marissa mayer will they use these calls to train LLMs? https://www.theverge.com/... [image] Annalisa Fernandez / @becauseculture : A toll-free number for an LLM is peak tech irony: the cutting edge of AI meets the landline. But maybe a voice call is the most human interface we've had yet - no screens, no apps, just conversation. Completing the full circle back to an oral culture. Justin Uberti / @juberti : Super scrappy effort to add phone calling support to ChatGPT, our team built out a new SIP service in a matter of weeks. Give it a try at 1-800-242-8478, works great in the car! [image] Riley Goodside / @goodside : Calling 1-800-ChatGPT next time I get arrested. Nick Turner / @newsynick : This feels like people in the 1980s imagining what the future will be like https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @rachelmetz [image] Mark Gurman / @markgurman : This is like Apple doubling down on email with Apple Intelligence. @openai : Day 10: ☎️ https://openai.com/... Kevin Weil / @kevinweil : Day 10 🎁: 1-800-CHATGPT ✨ Call ChatGPT on your phone if you're in the US, or message it on @WhatsApp from anywhere on the planet. It's free, no account needed! Give it a try right now. Sulman Choudhry / @sulmanrc : Delightful, ridiculous, and unapologetically retro: 1-800-CHATGPT. No, this isn't an infomercial. Just retro vibes and bottoms-up brilliance. In all seriousness it's important you can reach chatgpt from anywhere. Alex Volkov / @altryne : Remember how we all waited for advanced voice mode and like.. it was limited for ... 15 minutes a day? Wow it's a toll free call number (15 minutes per month per phone) ps @kevinweil is using a rotary phone 😂 to ask a for a reinforcement learning ELI5 is a killer demo bwahaha
