We dialed 1-800-ChatGPT. Here’s what happened
CNNNew York CNN — When a CNN journalist called 1-800-CHATGPT on Wednesday, a female voice on the other end provided a recipe for chocolate chip cookies and summarized the Civil War. The feature was built “just a few weeks ago,” according to an OpenAI livestream, as part of a rapid series of updates and tools for the company’s “12 Days of OpenAI” campaign. When asked if users agree for OpenAI to record or keep their voice by using the feature, the company directed CNN to its privacy policy and Terms of Use. It’s directly coming for Google with its search engine, though Google is also releasing snazzy new technology like a tool that lets people upload photos to get back combined AI-generated images. When asked on Wednesday if ChatGPT would ever turn a profit, the cheery bot voice answered a CNN journalist that OpenAI plans to eventually.
