  I would avoid using Chatbox. If I remember correctly the releases in the past were built from code that is not in the repo and also there were unadressed issue with the license and positive VirusTotal scans.

  There are other alternative tools out there that are less shady. One example would be jan.ai

  I don't know if anything's actually changed here, but the issues discussing that and mentioning GPL are gone. Not "closed, fixed", but deleted instead. The author was claiming they delay the source release to prevent other projects from copying them, but argued with anyone raising the issue of that not being GPL compliant. It does not smell good.

  The code currently says it's 0.10.4 (repo is for "community edition"), but the website changelog says 1.9.2.

  Side question: For user without accounts, did ChatGPT start gating repeat visitors to its chat site behind some kind of supercookie or server-detected unique identifier?

  Used to be able to throw a quick query at their site, now it just pushes me to a signup page (even after clearing cookies, incognito, etc).

  So much for this announcement? https://openai.com/index/start-using-chatgpt-instantly/

  Am using that for more than half a year now, very happy with it. The update process to get a new version is a mess though, with the update notification popping up four or more times usually.
