another site that unnecessary wants me to sign up.

Is it unnecessary, or did they save spending money on your instance of an AI when you probably weren't going to pay them anyway?

  At least give me 1 min as marketing cost, no? I have no clue what to expect, so it's hard to know if I could even be a customer. I thought I might be, but I am not gonna sign up to find out.

    I'm definitely not a paid shill for this product (it's what a paid shill would say, isn't it?), but you'll be missing out if you don't try it. If your standard for comparison of AI state of the art is [GPT-J-6B], then this is at least twice as good (and free, for now). [GPT-J-6B]: https://6b.eleuther.ai/ https://6b.eleuther.ai/

  Well I guess they won't find out, it is foolish to think a product like this sells itself so well that I would bother to create an account to see if the product meets my needs. A series of cards and head shots mean nothing in this context.

  You cannot even read the FAQ or look at the character creation tips. How expensive is it to serve that? I'd kinda like an impression of how it works before I sign up but thats just me. The marketing stuff on the front page is not really useful.

Agree. I see this and instantly close it. I'm not signing up on a site that is completely unknown unless you have a very good case for the value you present. This is a toy, at least in its current form.

Agreed, the comments on hacker news gave me a better idea of what this does than the page itself

It's well worth your time, trust me. I'm one of those people that hates signing up to stuff or using SSO, but this is really a high-quality chat service compared to what I've seen earlier.
