ChatGPT is now accessible via phone!

ChatGPT has launched a new feature allowing users to communicate via voice calls, accessible by dialing 1-800-ChatGPT in the U.S., or messaging the same number (1-800-242-8478) on WhatsApp globally. This experimental service, offering 15 minutes per month of voice calling initially, is compatible with flip phones and landlines, although availability and limitations may vary.

Yes, flip phones are still available for those that don't want or need a "smart" phone. I recently bought one for my mom. I also have a basic phone. It just doesn't fold like a flip phone.

Yes, I know basic (i.e. non smart) phones still exist. But I doubt any of those still available today are actually flip phones (like the good ol' Motorola StarTac). I may be wrong, I haven't looked at the non smart phone market in many, many years In any case, I think that the AI that "wrote" this article (Fla) actually meant to say "cellular phones", which would be a much more suitable term to oppose "landlines"

The options definitely aren't plentiful, but as I already said, new 4G flip phones are indeed available. As for the article.... no doubt, typical AI generated nonsense.
