I really didn't expect OpenAI to do something as immoral as this, despite their history of stealing the world's data to create a public-facing deep-fake generation machine. I am shocked and appalled.

When I type in 'DELETE', the button just stays disabled for me. When I tried to make the request through their 'Privacy' portal, I receive a mysterious 'Session expired' error message, and now I've been locked out with the message 'Too many failed attempts'...
Pour one out for the dev who got called on saturday morning to break the account deletion process
That said, I doubt there's very many.

#218Posting it here as a top-level comment as many people asked why boycott just openAi: ----- openAI is the least trustworthy of the Big LLM providers. See S(c)am Altman's track record, especially his early comments in senate hearings where: * he warned of engagement-optimisation strategies, like social media, being used for chatbots / LLMs. * also, he warned that "ads would be the last resort" for LLM companies.

I can't decouple from Google unfortunately but I accept that without fooling myself into thinking "Oh b…
> I can't decouple from Google unfortunately Why not?
It's an "all in one" solution that allows SMEs to not have to use Windows.
