ChatGPT is a natural language processing program developed by OpenAI to create a tool that can analyze, process and understand humans’ language. Thanks to the ability of understanding questions, and having knowledge in many fields and replying promptly, ChatGPT has quickly become a global technological phenomenon.

Many people want to open accounts to use the AI program but OpenAI still doesn’t support the use of ChatGPT in Vietnam.

To register accounts and use ChatGPT, users forge IP addresses and international phone numbers. So a new kind of service has appeared: creating and selling ChatGPT.

After buyers pay the sellers, they are provided email addresses and passwords to log in and use ChatGPT. 

The business has been thriving over the last two weeks.

Late last week, ChatGPT prices were offered at different price levels, from VND50,000 to VND200,000.

However, the floor prices of ChatGPT have recently changed. Once sold for hundreds of thousands of VND, prices have plummeted. 

Now ChatGPT accounts are offered for VND20,000-25,000 on average. Some sellers are quoting a price of VND10,000.

A ChatGPT seller said ChatGPT has become cheap because there are more sellers, while the number of people seeking to buy accounts has begun reducing.

The other reason is that ChatGPT owners, who bought accounts before, are sharing their accounts with their relatives and friends. Some of them decide to sell the accounts to ‘take back investment’ after they experienced it. These are the reasons that push prices down.

Meanwhile, those with certain knowledge about IT can create ChatGPT themselves.

A ChatGPT account impersonating an American user can be created successfully with the cost of just VND15,000. The cost would be even lower if impersonating non-US users, just $0.1-0.3, or VND3,000-7,000. In case users have relatives and friends in foreign countries, they can create accounts with the support of their relatives and friends, for free.

A ChatGPT account seller in Hanoi told VietNamNet that with the average price of VND10,000-20,000, the prices have bottomed out.

It is now the right time for those, who have demand but still cannot experience ChatGPT, to buy accounts as the accounts have become dirt cheap. However, experts have warned that people should make transactions carefully to avoid scams.
