After surprising half the planet with ChatGPT’s upcoming conversational capabilities, OpenAI probably hasn’t stood still for a moment. You now have another update ready for your chatbot that includes an important new feature so that even faster to use: You won’t need an account to use it, although it has its limitations.
Apart from this novelty, OpenAI has made the Solomonic decision to temporarily remove the ‘Sky’ or ‘Cielo’ voice from the mobile application being quite similar to that of the actress who gave her voice to Her, the artificial intelligence protagonist of the film. On his Twitter account, he hinted that they would work on adapting it effectively to bring him back.
Until now, ChatGPT required the use of a Google or Apple account on iPhones. It looks like this experience will soon change to be instantly accessible without the need for an account. Which means that only Open the app and ChatGPT will be there waiting a consultation.
We’ve heard questions about how we chose voices in ChatGPT, particularly Sky. We are working to suspend the use of Sky while we respond.

It’s not that this is something completely new, since in April OpenAI announced that the chatbot could be used without an account in the web version. Now AssembleDebug found the new features of the mobile version in the beta of the application on Android.
In reality, this measure erases the small wall that some users faced when forcing the use of an account. Even the Google search engine does not ask for itso in this way, ChatGPT imitates your experience.
There are limitations with ChatGPT without an account and the ability to upload an image for the AI to analyze based on the user’s query is lost:
- You cannot save your history or share chats.
- Images cannot be downloaded with the new GPT-4o model.
The new multimodal experience disappears for no reason, although at the moment it is also limited while it is expected to come into play soon the alpha version which will allow you to converse with the almost human imitation of GPT-4o.
Use ChatGPT for free with an account results in a chatbot that uses GPT-3.5 (the old model) when the user has reached the limit of uploaded images or queries in a certain time depending on the workload experienced by the new GPT-4o model. In fact, according to Android Authorityto re-upload an image for free, you sometimes have to wait up to 48 hours
Goodbye to her, for now
OpenAI took advantage of its website to clarify a little what happened about using “Sky” voice in ChatGPT. In the presentation made just a week ago, ChatGPT was shown with this voice and many users confused it with the voice of Scarlett Johansson when she plays artificial intelligence in the American film Her.
In the published note you can read how to select the five different voices used in ChatGPT that we have gone through. a five-month process that involved professional voice actors and talent agenciescasting directors and industry consultants.
Each of the Breeze, Cover, Ember, Juniper and Sky voices is taken from the voice actors they teamed up with to create them. Indeed, it specifies that each actor receives remuneration above the highest market rates in their sector and with the aim of not deliberately imitating the voice of a celebrity like Scarlett Johansson. In fact, the “Sky” actress is her own, with her own natural voice.
We’ll have to see how that voice turns out in the end, because the only thing he mentioned at the end was that His wish is to introduce new voices into ChatGPT to accommodate different user preferences and interests.
