ChatGPT is a chatbot launched by a company called OpenAI in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 family of large language models, and is fine-tuned with both supervised and reinforced learning techniques.

This chat bot can do a lot of things from answering your difficult questions, writing code, analysing poems, writing article, writing novels and many more.

First method 

However, ChatGPT’s use is not available in Zimbabwe and some other countries. There is a way you can bypass that:

1. You need a VPN application or function to be activated. On mobile phone, you can use Opera with free VPN. 
2. You need to have a relative in USA, UK, SA or any other country that is not blocked from using this AI so that they will help you with phone verification OR you will need to buy a virtual phone number.

After you have these, connect your VPN and visit https://chat.openai.com and create an account (Note: you may need to open the url in incognito mode, maybe).

 

If you get the “ChatGPT is at a capacity error”, keep checking after a couple of minutes and you will be able to go through. When registering your account, choose the country whose phone number you have acquired on stage 2 above, e.g South Africa if you want to use a +27 phone number. 

Second Method 

This one is my favourite at the moment. Visit this poe.com website and use your email to log in. Navigate to ChatGPT after clicking the menu button. The rest is straightforward.

Bonus Method (WhatsApp) 

This method is not ChatGPT but it is an alternative AI on WhatsApp platform that can be useful. It has many features like picture generating, audio writing by sending voice notes, transcribing and summarising it and also turning video into text. To use it, click WhatGPT or send start to +16504603230 on WhatsApp after saving the number.
