       | Any custom instance (I built one) of ChatGPT does not require
       | signup. And this is not truly anonymous at all. Meh.

       | Looks like OpenAI has throttling or the ban-hammer in place.

       | How/why are you paying for this? The api get's expensive fast.

       | It is verbose and doesn't sound like an actual person. Consider
       | just editing it down by half and reading it out loud to see if it
       | seems like something you would actually write.

       | While I'm eager for people to be able to use leading-edge LLMs

       | 
       | It's at the mercy of OpenAI to throttle or disable the underlying
       | access.
       | 
       | It's from an unclear team using crummy mealy-mouther likely-
       | ChatGPT-originated copy. So why would anyone trust it?
       | 
       | It casts shade against OpenAI, claiming - contra OpenAI's own
       | assurances about retention - that "ChatGPT may store data related
       | to your queries and responses". But, it only offers the same non-
       | verifiable assurances itself - with even less reputation, or
       | opportunity to hold accountable for violations, than with OpenAI.
       | 
       | Overall, a service like this seems extra-likely to have been
       | offered by sketchy operators, & mostly of unique use to people
       | who want briefly get-away-with-something with regard to OpenAI's
       | preferences.
       | 
       | There may be a place for such a service, but I wouldn't trust it
       | or expect it to be useful for very long.

         | I think you are confusing the terms of ChatGPT and the OpenAI
         | API. OpenAI are uncharacteristically open about the fact that
         | they are retaining and training on data collected through
         | ChatGPT.
