From a previous discussion: QuitGPT reeks of something, and it's not grass or roots.
Most importantly, it's a spinoff of a better movement that is anti-Google and, frankly, better:
https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/
this feels like it's up there with the billionaire support protest.
kind of feels like a psyop to gather intel on individuals that could become resistance leadership in the future.
It's very strange to me how so many puff pieces got written about it in so little time. At least they're co-opting quotes and articles that raise legitimate issues, but it's kind of redundant.
It's also striking that the movement bears the name and logo of ChatGPT while telling us it is bad. It almost looks like an ad. Especially now, when many advertisements take advantage of cynicism. (I've seen speculation that the AI "Friend" pin intentionally used posters with empty white backgrounds to encourage graffiti or perhaps they added it themselves.)
