Getting Started with ChatGPT Plus: A Complete Guide by Maria Diaz/ZDNET
I recently took the plunge and upgraded to a ChatGPT Plus subscription to get more out of the artificial intelligence chatbot. The upgrade allows me to access advanced features such as GPT-4, image generation with DALL-E 3, and internet browsing capabilities. While the prospect of using these tools may seem daunting at first, OpenAI has made it easier for Plus subscribers to get started.
To use ChatGPT Plus, simply log in to your OpenAI account and click on Upgrade in the lower left corner of the screen. This will give you priority access to new features and access to the more advanced tools available with a Plus subscription. Once you’ve upgraded, you can switch between models from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 on the ChatGPT window to access all the features included in your subscription.
With GPT-4, you can browse the web, generate images with DALL-E 3, and analyze data using the Advanced Data Analysis plugin. Image and file upload is now available within GPT-4, allowing you to upload and analyze images or files with the AI chatbot. Additionally, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can ask the bot to create images at any time while using GPT-4, without needing to enable the AI image generator separately.
One of the most exciting features of ChatGPT Plus is the ability to create custom GPT bots, known as My GPTs. While OpenAI temporarily halted new subscriptions for this feature due to overwhelming popularity, Plus subscribers can access their custom GPTs by clicking on My GPTs in the ChatGPT window.
Another new feature available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers is voice chatting with the AI chatbot. Users can now input voice commands and receive responses in a natural manner, with the ability to choose from five different voices for the bot.
Overall, upgrading to ChatGPT Plus has been a worthwhile investment for me, as it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities with the AI chatbot. With access to advanced features and tools, Plus subscribers can make the most out of their ChatGPT experience and enhance their productivity in various tasks.
