A.I. for Grandmas? ChatGPT Launched Its Own 1-800 Number

Your grandma is gonna feel so hip and cool now . . .

ChatGPT just launched its own 1-800 number, so you can call in and ask questions instead of using it online.

If you call 1-800-CHATGPT, an A.I. woman answers and asks how she can help.  (That’s 1-800-242-8478.)

It’s a very 20th century feature for a 21st century product, and that’s the point.  They say it’s for people, possibly older people, who are new to A.I. and don’t feel comfortable using an app.

They say it’s also useful for people who don’t have great access to the internet, or good high-speed data.

It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles the app has, and it’s not unlimited.  You only get 15 minutes of free talk-time a month.  You can also use WhatsApp to text the number and ask questions that way.
