Benefits of Creating a ChatGPT Account
OpenAI said that it also introduced additional content safeguards for this experience, such as blocking prompts and generations in a wider range of categories.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a generative AI chat bot that was founded by OpenAI. It was designed to help people get answers to questions, find creative inspiration, and learn something new.
On Sept 25, new voice and image capabilities were introduced in ChatGPT. This allows you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about.
The company said that they partnered with professional voice actors to create each of the voices.
“The new voice capability is powered by a new text-to-speech model, capable of generating human-like audio from just text and a few seconds of sample speech. We collaborated with professional voice actors to create each of the voices. We also use Whisper, our open-source speech recognition system, to transcribe your spoken words into text,” OpenAI said.
For the image, OpenAI said, “To get started, tap the photo button to capture or choose an image. If you’re on iOS or Android, tap the plus button first. You can also discuss multiple images or use our drawing tool to guide your assistant. Image understanding is powered by multimodal GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. These models apply their language reasoning skills to a wide range of images, such as photographs, screenshots, and documents containing both text and images.
