    I am not subscribed to openai. Is there a way for me to not subscribe even harder?

    I'd say pirate it but well cloud based and all kinda takes the wind from those sails.

    ai piracy is still possible! Break into the openai servers and yoink the gpt 5.2 weights. and then publish them

    I convinced two friends to cancel their monthly sub. I guess that's something.

    I didn’t have a subscription but I still deleted my account.

    I'm surprised so many people were paying for it. Seems like more people want less ai not more these days.

    People want less forced AI, but most people are fine with using it whenever they want

    I’m one of them

    But then I’m a student and work part time as a dev so I see the population that pretty much uses GenAI the most

    What really sucks is Google is likely to remove all those 1 star reviews, they've done it before when shit like this happens.

    Edit: i feel like a good review could be...

    1 star. By using this service you'll be helping ChatGPT autonomously surveil you through the government and murder you with robots without any human in the loop. Don't let ChatGPT kill you!

    Why not just fedex Altman your SSN and mother's maiden name to save yourself the trouble lmfao

    Whenever I see a % data, I always believe the actual amount is really low. It just means on Saturday there were 4x the amount of uninstalls compared to every other day, which doesn’t seem much at all

    it’s enough to be indicative

    Only if you have the base amount. And still, for a company of this size, it’s not much

    % is % is %… absolutes are completely irrelevant… 1m people uninstalling facebook is less relevant than 100 people uninstalling

    a large % change is always relevant no matter the company size. that’s the whole point

    For statistics like this you need more information to know whether it's significant. If they have 100m users and 5 people uninstall the app daily, it's not going to make any difference if that number goes up to 15 uninstalls for one day.

  • source

    It’s not a % change of the entire user base, it’s a % change over the uninstalls. If there are 100 uninstalls per day for example, even a 2000% increase for a day is worthless

    And even then, we probably need the number of installs per day to understand the actual impact

    But the fewer people who use it the less money they'll lose

    How are they tracking uninstalls?

    Anthropic said it was not able to agree on the deal terms over concerns that AI would be used to surveil Americans and be used in fully autonomous weaponry, which AI is not yet ready to do safely.

    To add to this, Anthropic also said (in other words I do not recall) that even if AI could do it safely, there would be ethical concerns about oversight.

    Ehhh. If they weren’t paying customers then it’ll certainly help their burn rate.

    Only the mobile app, and I also don't quite get the statistics... Normal "day-over-day" uninstall rate is given as 9%.
    Does that mean that the typical half-life of an ChatGPT app install is just ~6 days, as 6*9=54% are deinstalled during that time???
    This does not make sense.

    That's how it is with all mobile apps. Most installs are followed immediately by uninstall. People get bored and install random shit from Play Store, don't understand what it's about about and delete it.

    Also most people have no real need to use chatgpt anyway. For them it's just a cool toy.

    Can't be the reason here, as the ChatGPT app currently has more than a billion installs on Android alone.
    So for a 9% try-out-rate it would have taken only about a month for all of the remaining 3 billion Android users to try it and deinstall it.
    This statistic doesn't make sense in this form or it is missing some further unknown context.

    That 295% uninstall surge tells the whole story. Users do not trust tools that get fed to defense contractors, and they should not have to explain why. The moment DoD is in the prompt chain, consumer confidence evaporates.

    I would have uninstalled it, but I never installed or even used it. Never even opened the website.

    I deleted my account just before the deal. It's also the enshitification of the platform.

    I deleted the app but I had not deleted the account. I am trying to delete the account now, I logged into the web app and asked chatgpt:

    I want to close my ChatGPT account, I do not like how it is going to be used for war. Do not tell me about how ChatGPT wont be used for war, your daddy Sam has said other wise recently, so how do I close it?

    I followed your directions but it says it is locked, is your daddy trying to keep some sense of pride with everyone leaving him?

    It gave me some reasons as to why I cannot close the account at the moment so I am going to have to do it the hard way.
