Tell HN: GenAI companies stopped gatekeeping product access

Today OpenAI lets you try ChatGPT even before you logging in. Meta surfaced their models on WhatsApp. You can use a bit of Grok and Perplexity without giving up any personal information.

Huge contrast from Q1 of 2023, when LLamA leaked; when you had to go through hoops just to test drive an open model in a chat setting.

I'm just glad the market is more open now. :)

They’ve ran out of internet and need more training data.

Ask yourself, “Why would they do this?”
