"Now that obsequiousness could be coming back to haunt them. As reported by MIT Technology Review, activists critical of the Trump administration and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement have started a campaign called QuitGPT, urging regular users to ditch OpenAI's chatbot for good. So far, the campaign boasts over 700,000 supporters of the boycott. The QuitGPT website lists a few different ways to participate: quitting ChatGPT outright, cancelling paid subscriptions, and spreading the word about the boycott with others on social media."
"As for why, the activists behind the boycott point to OpenAI's incredibly tight relationship with the Trump administration. As QuitGPT notes, OpenAI president Greg Brockman famously donated $25 million to a Trump Super PAC in 2025, while ICE uses an AI tool powered by ChatGPT for recruitment. "They're cozying up to Trump while ICE is killing Americans and the Department of Justice is trying to take over elections," the QuitGPT organizers write on their website."

QuitGPT cites OpenAI's close ties to the Trump administration, including a reported $25 million donation by OpenAI president Greg Brockman to a Trump Super PAC in 2025, and ICE's use of a ChatGPT-powered recruitment tool. Campaign messaging accuses OpenAI of enabling dependence and harming mental health. Some users cancelled subscriptions and voiced political objections.
