As a long-time OpenAI user, I almost registered for Claude yesterday. Got the email, clicked the link... And saw the mandatory phone number field. And turned around and closed the window.

But openai also asks for a phone number?
you are missing a more superior product (as far as coding related)
If you're trying to say that you think Cluade does a better job coding, I've heard that already. And that was why I almost registered. But shady is shady is shady, so no, thanks. I can wait.
Not trying to be provocative, but what’s shady about asking for a phone number?
I’m pretty sure the phone number requirement is there to make it harder for people to create multiple accounts in order to take advantage of their free tier. It’s harder to obtain multiple phone numbers than it is to obtain multiple email addresses.
no worries, scammers and hackers already got your phone number, address, and SSN from t-mobile, Verizon, and at&t customer data breaches, and from one of the customer data mining vendors like LexisNexis.
