This is interesting but all of the site content reads like it was written by AI.

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.

It reads like someone trying to trick you. Example from the FAQ:

> Will AnonChatGPT store my questions and responses?

> We understand how important your privacy is to you, which is why we take it very seriously. We want to assure you that we do not store any of the questions you submit, nor any of the responses you receive from ChatGPT. (…)

It drones on for over 100 words. If you’re honest about your intentions, you only need one: “No”. Direct and unambiguous. Otherwise it reads like trying to lie based on some technicality.

It should start with "No. We understand how..." That is, answer the question and then explain the details.
Or more likely, ask ChatGPT to simplify it.
Overall, I agree with you.
Great feedback. It is indeed written by AI.
