I finally decided I’d try ChatGPT. It requires a login, so I created an account with a single-use email as I do with all services. Then it insisted on a cell phone number, which I don’t use for any non-critical authentication. I have a Google Voice number for such things, so I used that. But it wouldn’t take a “virtual phone number.” Then it made sense, a creepy internet robot only knows how to be creepy. Not worth it to me, so I closed the window.
