Does anyone else have issue with having to provide a phone number to access it?
I signed up, verified email, and then was told I needed to verify with phone. This means, to me, (lest I read their TOS) that they are associating any queries I make with my identity.
I can't wait for this tech to go open source and local on devices.
This is, IMO, the most important comment in this thread.
Requiring a phone number has privacy implications, but the total consequences are more far-reaching.
You must have a smart phone, you must have your location, your habits, and your characteristics tracked by corporations and governments, you must be a good consumer, you must have a credit rating, you must participate in the wanton destruction of the planet via the two-year planned obsolescence cycle.
Otherwise, you can't play with our shiny new thing.
> they are associating any queries I make with my identity
To be clear: yes, they absolutely are, and say so outright. You can get your account banned for some types of queries, etc. Much of their service is geared towards helping companies build gpt products so it seems to be no surprise.
I'm also very excited to get some good models that can run locally in the future.
