A grassroots campaign called QuitGPT is urging users to cancel ChatGPT subscriptions in protest of OpenAI's political ties and ICE's use of ChatGPT-4 for résumé screening. The movement gained traction after OpenAI president Greg Brockman donated $12.5 million to Trump's super PAC, and following fatal ICE shootings in Minneapolis. While ChatGPT has 900 million weekly active users, the campaign's Instagram post garnered 36 million views and over 17,000 people have signed up. The boycott reflects broader anxieties about AI companies' relationships with the Trump administration, energy costs, deepfakes, and job displacement, signaling a growing anti-AI movement among activists and tech workers.
