I didn't know about this project. Thanks to the takedown notice I'll immediatelly clone it and start using it.
Thank you OpenAI for playing a role in me finding an alternative!

GPT4Free is an API reverse engineering and proxy project which exposes an API to use GPT4 by proxy through GPT4 based services like the search engine Phind.
Essentially you are using the reverse engineered services OpenAI credits to access GPT4 instead of using your own OpenAI account.
Just that people keep obnoxiously naming their projects after them for visibility.
Imo this is exactly how this kind of polite takedown should be used. If it highlighted it to you great because at least you know for sure it's not OpenAIs product.
gpt4free means "gpt for free" and also predates GPT-4. I don't think it was meant to be obnoxious or cause confusion.
But it's clear and obvious to me that they saw GPT2 then GPT3 and thought well let's pun on it with GPT4.
First line of the wiki you link

Emphasis added.
It's still available on github.
