>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.

That's as may be, but I'm not interested in sharing my PII with OpenAI just to mess around (which is all I'm interested in doing at this point) with ChatGPT.

As such, I appreciate the opportunity to do so on this site.

Is it shady/meant for folks to do evil/not above-board in some other way? I have no idea.

Although I'd note that my first foray into using this site wasn't all that impressive. That said, I have nothing to compare it with, so perhaps it really is "wonderful."

IF it makes you feel any better, the site does perform CAPTCHAs and limits the number of queries allowed in a single session.

I'm not advocating for or against this (non-invasive WRT PII) interface to ChatGPT, I'm not sad it exists as it allows me to play around with it (albeit in very small doses).
