In recent weeks, over 700,000 people have signed on to stop using ChatGPT in response to OpenAI President Greg Brockman’s financial support for Donald Trump. However, the issues with ChatGPT predate the QuitGPT movement.
As a premium user of ChatGPT, I have been using its newest model, GPT 5.2, for a few months now. However, during that time I have become frustrated with the newest release and felt that it continues to suffer from hallucinations despite asking repeated clarifying questions that often made it feel like more of a chore to use than a tool to expedite work.
In a previous article, I had argued that AI was a great tool for learning for many students. While there are always worries about over-reliance on technology, I argued that AI, when used right, can facilitate learning. However, with my recent struggles with ChatGPT, I couldn’t help but wonder if I should reconsider my chosen AI tool.
Other users have reported similar feelings, with some saying that they feel it “spends paragraphs locking in parameters, then pivots into excuses about why it suddenly can’t do what it just claimed it would do.” I have had similar issues, particularly with image generation. I would provide it with an AI-generated image it just created and ask it to make minor edits like I had in past editions, which it claimed it would do, but it would then generate the same image without any changes whatsoever.
These issues appear to be part of an error in the recent model. According to OpenAI, its focus in its newest version was more on technical aspects, such as spreadsheets and coding functionality. Its CEO, Sam Altman, said they “screwed up” with the release.
However, the QuitGPT movement is not focused on these practical performance issues with the AI tool itself. Instead, the movement is focused on the political involvement of Altman and his fellow OpenAI founder, Greg Brockman, who have both become more involved in the MAGA movement in recent years.
Backman’s donations to Trump related superpack MAGA Inc. and the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in recent weeks have driven some users to leave ChatGPT. While I could argue that these donations could be explained simply as an apolitical AI CEO supporting a pro-AI president, I can understand why people frustrated with the current administration may want to find other AI platforms to take their business to.
The QuitGPT campaign appears to only be accelerating a pre-existing shift away from the AI service. ChatGPT was already losing market share relative to other AI tech companies before the QuitGPT campaign, and it feels like many people, myself included, were already ready to cancel their subscriptions before we even heard of OpenAI’s president and his political donations.
In a recent MIT article, it was reported that Alfred Stephen, a freelance software developer in Singapore, ended his ChatGPT Plus subscription after he grew frustrated with the chatbot’s meandering replies, noting that QuitGPT’s political movement was the “final straw” that led him to his decision.
Not everything needs to be about politics. We do not need to make Grok or ChatGPT the AI chatbots of the right and some other AI chatbot the chosen chatbot of the left. We should analyze these tools for their quality and select the ones that best suit our needs. At best, the QuitGPT movement is accelerating the pre-existing move away from ChatGPT, and at worst, it is taking political credit for a shift away from ChatGPT they didn’t begin as a political movement.
