Overview
- QuitGPT urges paid users to cancel ChatGPT in protest of Greg Brockman and his wife each donating $12.5 million to MAGA Inc., according to campaign finance filings.
- Activists point to a Department of Homeland Security AI inventory confirming that ICE uses a résumé‑screening tool powered by ChatGPT‑4.
- Organizers report more than 17,000 signups while the campaign site claims 700,000 commitments, and a recent Instagram post drew roughly 36 million views.
- The decentralized effort spreads through Reddit and Instagram, with actor Mark Ruffalo amplifying it, and it directs users toward alternatives like Gemini, Claude, and open‑source models.
- OpenAI has not commented, independent verification of widespread cancellations is lacking, and ChatGPT’s scale (about 900 million weekly users as of December 2025) suggests any immediate impact may be limited, as product‑performance gripes also feed participation.
