It's really funny to see these types of comments. I would assume a vast majority of users are using the Web interface, particularly in a corporate context where an account for the API could take ages or not be accepted.
If people were smart and performed according to best practices, articles like this one would not be necessary.
I mean, if you're using a free web interface in corporate context, you may just as well use a paid API with your personal account - either way, you're using it of your own volition, and not as approved by your employer. And getting API keys to ChatGPT equivalent (i.e. GPT-3.5) takes... a minute, maybe less.
I am honestly confused how people can use this thing with the interface OpenAI runs. The app has been near-unusable for me, for months, on every device I tried it on.
