OpenAI is facing growing pressure from users demanding the reinstatement of GPT-4o, a version of ChatGPT widely praised for its lifelike interactions. A Reddit post on r/artificialintelligence sparked a wave of user complaints, with many claiming GPT-4o offered unmatched reasoning, emotional intelligence, and capacity for extended conversations compared to currently available models. Frustrated subscribers are reportedly canceling subscriptions, sending messages to OpenAI, and signing online petitions, all in an effort to persuade the company to bring back the model they see as crucial for the future of human-AI collaboration. The user-led campaign highlights the significant impact GPT-4o had on its users and their perception of AI’s potential.
