Nope, these services almost always require user login, eventually tied to cell number (ie non disposable) and associate user content and other data points with account. Nonetheless user prompts are always collected. How they’re used is a good question.
Use a third party API. Pay with monero.
Yes it is possible to create disposable-isque api keys for different uses. The monetary cost is the cost of privacy and of not having hardware to run things locally.
If you have reliable privacy friendly api vendor suggestions then do share. While I do not need such services now, it can a good future reference.
I think I only used chatgpt once to play around, and it was one of those. I dont remember the name, sorry
