Yes, you need to log in with an OpenAI account to use ChatGPT on the official website. They require it to personalize your experience and keep track of your conversations.
There are some unofficial websites that let you try ChatGPT without logging in, but they may not be reliable or secure, so I wouldn't recommend them.
I use ChatGPT through the OpenAI interface, and it asks me to log in every time. It seems like the login is necessary for almost all use cases now.
Is there a way to use ChatGPT without an account for educational purposes? I'd like to avoid creating yet another login if possible.
You don't have to log in for some basic demos or free trials, but for the full ChatGPT experience and saving your chats, logging in is mandatory.
