You can make an account without using your real details. Just stick to the browser and don’t use their app.


I appreciate you being honest in your response here.
I’d recommend adding this disclaimer to the post text and repo readme for complete transparency, and so anyone who doesn’t want to use AI-generated projects can move on without creating arguments in the comments.
There are many genuine reasons to not trust code generated by LLMs, especially with anything network-connected or handling important data, so it’s important to be upfront about it.
Yeah it’s not easy to get people to care, and even harder to get them to move from something they’re familiar with.
The main motivation for me was getting off WhatsApp, so anyone who refused to get Signal just has to deal with SMS now.
