Finally, a way to prove to all your friends you're right about a topic: Invite them all into a group chat with ChatGPT, then have the AI assert dominance on your behalf.

A few days ago, OpenAI started testing group chats in ChatGPT, allowing people to collaborate on projects with the help of ChatGPT.

The beta feature was apparently a success, as the company has now expanded it to all ChatGPT users, even those on the free tier – but only if they're logged in.

Nothing seems to have changed since the initial test. It's still limited to 20 people, and you can still access the feature by tapping on the icon in the top right corner of a new or existing chat; then you get an invite link which you can share with everyone. Users will have to create a simple profile before they participate, and group chats are stored in the separate part of the sidebar.

If you don't see the feature yet, you probably will soon. OpenAI says the group chats are launching globally "over the coming days."

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
