Many websites mimic ChatGPT, but Russia is not among the countries officially supported by OpenAI. Users in Russia seeking ChatGPT often encounter unofficial sites that are either intermediaries using OpenAI's API or phishing attempts. Official access requires navigating geo-restrictions, which carries a risk of account bans.
