I actually had a chat with it about this the other day. Can't bring myself to chat to it at all anymore. https://chatgpt.com/share/69828e93-49dc-800e-b1c2-8ae6465e1eab
Why do they need my email?
Iirc, there's a NYT lawsuit against OpenAI where the court ordered them to save prompts and identities.
Also, I'm sure the real reason is surveillance capitalism. They've already said ads are coming.
i meant why does quitgpt need my name or email? Well its optional, but still seems strange to me.
Oh I don't subscribe, I make sure to use up my free prompts with as wide ranging computationally expensive requests as I can think of at the time.
Ask an AI to summarize your favorite novel of the day for you.
