I asked chatgpt some spicy questions a long time ago (on the order of months), and it was about privacy questions and maintaining privacy online. I even asked it how to keep private from itself. I deleted that account many months ago and it was not immediately linked to my 'real' identity. I've also asked it some other spicy questions about stuff I won't reveal here. Again. Months ago, and by it's own admission if something is reported, it will be acted upon almost immediately. If something is super illegal (as in, I want to kill so-and-so individual) it not only reports it for immediate review but also reports the relevant law enforcement right away.

Chatgpt told me this.

The only way to use chatgpt if you must is with A: a throwaway email (must be reusable) such as those on darknet emails or something that doesnt link it to you by name (such as proton or tutamail). B: over the Tor network.

The only way to use chatgpt if you must is

-To use it over API.

Or, preferably, literally any other LLM API that isn't such a censored privacy nightmare.

The problem here is that most percieve ChatGPT as the only chatbot in existance... It's not, not even close.

Also, ChatGPT is really bad at spitting out its own policy, FYI. expect it to randomly hallucinate stuff.

Please tell me how to do it over an API. I really want to know.

Edit. I have LM studio and downloaded AI chatbots. But they give far more bullshit than chatgpt (which i rarely use much anyway), which is why talking to it feels even more pointless than chatgpt at times.
