Historian Rutger Bregman Urges ChatGPT Subscription Cancellation
Historian Rutger Bregman encourages individuals to discontinue their ChatGPT subscriptions due to apprehension regarding OpenAI's practices. The QuitGPT campaign claims the backing of over one million people, a figure which includes various forms of support and engagement, and is notably supported by actors Mark Ruffalo and Katy Perry, as reported in an opinion article from The Guardian. According to the Guardian, the boycott began following a reported $25 million donation by OpenAI President Greg Brockman to Maga Inc., a Super Pac backing Donald Trump. Without further independent sources, this claim should be presented with caution, indicating it is reported by The Guardian but not yet independently verified. Alternatively, remove the claim if no independent verification can be found.
