ChatGPT Users Revolt, OpenAI Faces Crisis

A growing movement is urging users to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions, fueled by frustrations with the chatbot's performance and concerns over OpenAI's political ties. The "QuitGPT" campaign, which gained traction on platforms like Reddit, is calling for users to end their subscriptions to the popular AI service.

According to MIT Technology Review, the campaign highlights a donation from OpenAI president Greg Brockman to President Donald Trump's super PAC MAGA Inc. as a key reason for the boycott. The campaign also points to the use of a ChatGPT-4 powered resume screening tool by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency that has been under scrutiny.

The campaign's emergence reflects growing user dissatisfaction with ChatGPT. Alfred Stephen, a freelance software developer in Singapore, told MIT Technology Review that he subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 a month, to speed up his work. However, he became frustrated with the chatbot's coding abilities and its "gushing, meandering replies."

The "QuitGPT" movement is emerging amid a broader context of tech companies facing scrutiny. As reported by a multi-source article in MIT Technology Review, Instagram and YouTube are facing trials over allegations of designing addictive platforms. Google is testing changes to YouTube Music that could limit free access, and Discord is implementing mandatory age verification.
