Even for people who intend to use it in the future, there's a way to send a message with only a 30 day hiatus: if you really want, you can recreate the account with the same email address after 30 days, withe a clean slate. I'm between a slight rock and a hard place so cannot completely get out of OAI just yet, but I can manage 30 days without it.

And that message would be "We have a product so valuable/useful that not even their weak ideals and moral obligations could keep them away!"

Posting 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. Both o…

I distrust OpenAI as much as the next guy, but “Scam Altman” has “70-year-old uncle Facebook rant” energy.

I know we should boycott openAI, i was just wondering if I should also boycott altman's other venture, Worldcoin which is down 97.27%? He said I'll get UBI soon

Well you have to have customers to have a boycott

LOL I keep getting, “ Oops, an error occurred! Too many failed attempts. Try again”… my login codes are mysteriously not working when trying to delete my OpenAI/ChatGPT account.

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'...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

AI will get access to missiles, fighter jets, attack drones, and even nuclear launch codes - that's the fear. Even when the bombs drop from the sky, at least those humans who had deleted their OpenAI account can rest easy, knowing that that they weren't the ones supporting the AI that will delete humanity.

And what if an even worse alternative becomes the AI of choice for the DoD if OpenAI didn’t get this deal?

Failed logging in again to delete my OpenAI/ChatGPT account with, “ An unexpected error occurred while creating your session.”

Just a heads up for people that used phone numbers to verify their account before you decide to proceed with account deletion.

> New accounts are still subject to our limit of 3 accounts per phone number. Deleted accounts also count toward this limit.

> Deleting an account does not free up another spot.

> A phone number can only ever be used up to 3 times for verification to generate the first API key for your account on platform.openai.com.
