#2Thanks, but no thanks.
To quote Nietzsche simply out of context, "many too many are already born", so no need to copy 'n' paste them.
But I would like to study the data of those that talk to the copies not just for fun.

#3Firefox Android, I get an option to share my email address and no information about what this is or who would be using that information.
No thanks.

So philosophical.

It looks like a standard account creation flow.
If you chose the email option instead of “sign in with Google”, the server will probably use that email address to send you a login link. This is pretty standard for any web service, even blogs, where users can create accounts.

Sure, the login and sign up process is standard. But it's not typical to provide no information as to who is operating the site, or what the site does. Do those things appear in your browser?
I only see a title, a sign up link, and some celebrity photos.

I think the comment means “who ends up with my email address and why” not “why am I being asked fire on email address to create an account”.
Given that - presumably - you are going to be asked for content such as voice recordings to create the clone this is a valid concern.

#9Why does the demo require an account, isn't the whole point it the demo to convince people to register?
I'm not going to give away my email address without knowing more than "clone someone with ChatGPT" on a website with no more information than four names and a title.
I'm guessing this is another character.ai then?

it's more like a voice chat version of character.ai
requiring an account makes it easier to store user chat history so that in future the AI would have the context
but maybe you're right, allowing guest usage could improve conversions
