ChatGPT isn't the only game in town. Particularly for researchers or educators who may have questions about how data is being used, open source LLMs are well worth checking out. Huge advances have been made in recent months.
A great recent tool that I think can be very helpful for getting a sense of how these sorts of models works is Aviary from Anyscale. Now, clearly this is aimed at selling their services, but it is a great interface for checking out what different models that you may have heard in some social media feed (Falcon! LLaMa! Alpaca! or some other creature) can actually do.
You can choose three different models and it lets you see how each handles a particular prompt. It is useful too to see how these LLMs perform against experience with some of the commercial LLMs that have been more definitive for folks.
Finally, if you want to use these, there are many many vendors trying to spin up tools for low-code or no-code llm app building. Most rely on openai's chatgpt, so you need an openai key for that. But with a little bit of coding you can do quite a lot.
