List of free generative AI chatbots and LLMs you can use without accounts, some accessible via Tor for anonymous usage
Why You Should Avoid AI in Every App
AI is being embedded everywhere — apps, systems, websites.
But you don’t need to accept it blindly. Avoid logging in, avoid giving away your data.
Whenever possible, use AI tools through Tor or with maximum anonymity.
Free AI Chatbots Accessible via Tor (No Login Required)
Please note that some of these may have limitations on use due to the absence of user login.
Obviously, there will be no history, so if you think it prudent, store your prompt and the results of the interactions somewhere safe.

The Changing AI Landscape: Free to Paid, Open to Closed
Big Tech launched free AI tools to crush competition and capture users.
Now the cycle is shifting:
Prices are rising.
Fewer players dominate the market.
Monetization of user data is inevitable.
Remember: your data has always been collected.
The real question is — how will they use it against you?
