Claude needs to drop the required login to use their platform. I get it if you want to use their premium models, but just yesterday I tried to use their LLM. It prompted me a couple of times to log in and I dropped off immediately and went back to ChatGPT. Just a dumb decision in my eyes

I tried your approach with a contractor working on my kitchen - ask her if she will do all the work for free - nope. so dumb

Well the other contractor (ChatGPT) will happily do it for free. From a comparison perspective, his complaint is valid.

ChatGPT without a login is basically a 5 minute free trial with no integration with any other system besides web search.

You get bumped down to a way worse experience almost immediately and the login nags are so strong that logged-out use is almost certainly going away in the near future.

It’s like the contractor that comes over for free but mainly does so to find every possible problem in your house that they might be able to charge you for.
