Quit ChatGPT Now: Stop Funding Authoritarianism with Your Subscription

As a historian, Rutger Bregman has studied the major consumer boycotts of history, and he believes we can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is on track to lose $14bn this year, and its market share is collapsing. Even its own CEO, Sam Altman, has admitted it "screwed up" an element of the product.

A grassroots boycott called QuitGPT has been spreading across the US and beyond, asking people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions. More than a million people have answered the call, and high-profile figures like Mark Ruffalo and Katy Perry have thrown their weight behind it. It is one of the most significant consumer boycotts in recent memory.

The reason for this boycott is that OpenAI is not just a tech company - it's a company with a political agenda. Sam Altman, the CEO, has expressed support for authoritarianism and has even met with Elon Musk and other tech leaders to discuss ways to influence elections. By using ChatGPT, you're essentially bankrolling this authoritarian agenda.

But the boycott is more than just a political statement - it's also a way to disrupt OpenAI's business model. The company relies on user subscriptions to fund its operations, and a mass exodus of users could cripple its financial stability. This would not only send a strong message to the company but also force it to rethink its priorities and the way it treats its users.

The QuitGPT movement is gaining momentum, and it's not just about ChatGPT - it's about holding tech companies accountable for their actions. By canceling your ChatGPT subscription, you're joining a growing community of people who are fighting against the unchecked power of Silicon Valley. It's a simple yet powerful way to make your voice heard and contribute to a more ethical and transparent tech industry.

So, if you're concerned about the authoritarian tendencies of OpenAI and the way it's using your subscription to fund its political agenda, consider joining the QuitGPT movement today. It's a quick and easy way to make a difference and send a message that you won't tolerate unethical practices in the tech industry.
