OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT AI, released the latest in their GPT iteration – the GPT-4, which is the most powerful ChatGPT iteration to this day, early this year.
They then followed it up with the even more powerful and faster GPT-4 Turbo.
These latest developments in the AI means that many are eager to try it out, but unfortunately, GPT-4 and all its updated versions are not free to the public. To access GPT-4, you need to subscribe to the pay package, either per month or the whole year subscription.
But what if I told you that there are ways that you can access GPT-4 without paying a dime? Yes, you can and here is how.
Microsoft Bing
In a bid to increase usage of their browser, Microsoft, which funds OpenAI, integrated ChatGPT into their search engine Bing. In Bing, they offer the latest iteration of the AI to give users the best results.
This means then that you can access GPT-4 on Bing Chat and can even get some supplementary functions not present in ChatGPT -4.
Use Merlin
You can also access GPT-4 on the Chrome extension Merlin.
Merlin is an AI-powered extension which can act as your guide, helping you in various topics such as articles, searches and much more.
However, to gain access to Merlin, you will need to visit the official Merlin Chrome extension page, then add it to Chrome, then follow the next simple steps.
Frank AI
Frank AI is not directly linked to GPT-4, but it is built on GPT-4’s cutting edge technology.
This AI chatbot is great for content creators as it helps in brainstorming content ideas, writing scripts, ad-free search experience and other benefits.
Chatbot Pro
For android users, you also can jump on the GPT-4 train with the outstanding GPT-4 for android, Chatbot Pro.
This chatbot fuses advanced AI engine with straightforward and intuitive interface. This then works well to aid you in areas such as answering questions to a wide range of topics, generate text based on prompts or patterns, summarize and condense lengthy articles and much more.
While these sites, and many like them, do not offer the original GPT-4 experience, they do give a glimpse into the possibilities of GPT-4.
