If it's as privacy intrusive as the rest of its products I won't use it neither promote it.

Its the main reason most non tech savys avoided buying Google home. But the product teams are tone deaf.

Bring on a privacy first system/eco system!

Apple has privacy in its marketing, but honestly they are intrusive in every way.

Related, and I'm most probably missing something, but is there a way to use/test ChatGPT without having to create an account on OpenAI?

They are the least “open” company out there. They are also nosy about your business and always “afraid” you are doing something you shouldn’t be doing. Unless you are paying for the API of course.

They went from very open to very closed and “private” to open up again because competition caught up with them (lookup mid-journey for example).

no. there are a few restricted applications built on top of it. but if you want direct interaction, you need to create an account.
