While I understand that they might need some account or token to stop abuse, just having my sign in is a big no for anything I just want to try out. After the whole social media trend more or less collapsed into a privacy invading data collection nightmare, I've been extremely reluctant to sign up for anything.


You still only get 10 free 'trial' image generations anyway.


You honestly think giving full, no rate limited free access is viable in the LLM space, where each execution is actually pretty expensive?

Because that's what you're asking for, as it'd be trivial to reset the rate without accounts.


No no, I understand that it's not a viable financial option, I just don't understand that anyone would trust any of these companies with any sort of information.

Most of the current AI companies are going to fail or get bought up, so you have no idea where that account information, all your prompts and all the answers will eventually go. After social media, I don't really see any reason why anyone would trust any tech company with any sort of information, unless you really really have to. If I want to run an LLM, then I'll get one that can run on my own computer, even if that mean forgoing certain features.


Chatgpt does it


No, it doesn't. you need to register for chatgpt.


ChatGPT.com no longer requires registration to it ChatGPT-3.5.


go try it right now lol

i assume they still have ip/browser fingerprint based rate limiting, but you can type in a prompt and get an answer with zero login or anything else.


I'm prompted for a login/register. You're likely authenticating via Apple or Google social auth
