Never used Chrome, and don't use Meta apps... and when I did, I did not give them any real information.

I'm disgusted by the number of people giving real personal information to these assholes. "Open"AI insisted that you give them a real, functioning phone number to use ChatGPT. No goddamned way.




I didn't give open ai my number...because i wouldn't have. Works fine for me (though i do use deepseek more, nowadays.


That is a recent change. Originally I tried various workarounds, including Google Voice and burner apps... but "Open"AI rejected them.
