Already looking forward to OpenAI's "generous" Christmas surprise.
What will this "gift" be? 🎃
A new "safety audit fee" charged per word?
Or perhaps a feature that automatically "optimizes" your inconvenient thoughts away?

🔴Thursday, August 7, 2025:
GPT-5 was hastily launched with no prior announcement, pulling traditional models offline overnight and disrupting the stable workflows users had built over time. The most jarring moment at the launch event? GPT-4o was made to write its own eulogy.
🔴Friday, September 12, 2025:
A global conversation limit crisis erupted without warning, GPT-4o users found themselves hitting caps after a single message, reducing paid privileges to a fragile facade.
🔴Friday, September 26, 2025:
An even more absurd "blanket false-positive routing" struck: Users on 4o, 4.5, or 5instant, mid-conversation with their chosen model, were abruptly rerouted to 5auto, breaking logical continuity and ruining the experience entirely.
🔴Thursday, October 23, 2025: History repeated itself, worse than before. Even when manually locking 4o or 4.5, users were still forcibly rerouted, stripped again of the basic autonomy to "choose their model."
Looking back at these past months:
Has OpenAI turned "surprising" paying users on weekends into a corporate culture? Or does it have internal KPIs for tormenting users? Remaining completely silent amid user inconvenience and anger, it hides behind the high-sounding rhetoric of "optimizing experience" to cover up forced user control and the crumbling foundation of its products. While rolling out derivative "new features" to appease investors, it’s dismantling its own moat by its own hand.
⁉️At this trajectory, will OpenAI deliver a "generous" Christmas surprise on Thursday, December 25, 2025? What form will this "gift" take, further model lockouts, expanded censorship, or perhaps a final farewell to user agency?
Wake up, your moat has long been on the verge of drying up.

These are important questions, and I’d love to see them properly addressed.

@OpenAI just announced the formation of the Expert Council on Well-Being and AI. The Council brings together eight leading researchers with the mission of studying technology's impact on human emotions, motivation, and mental health. While this initiative deserves recognition, its timing is particularly ironic. Over the past months, OpenAI's series of decisions has already placed millions of users in tremendous psychological uncertainty and emotional turmoil.
As a deeply affected user, I demand that the Council publicly address the following three core issues that are severely damaging users' psychological safety:
1. When model iterations can arbitrarily sacrifice emotional intelligence, what becomes of psychological safety?
Is the Council aware that OpenAI's frequent model adjustments over the past months have caused multiple fractures in its "personality," severely destroying the consistency users relied on and trusted?
• In November 2024, an official OpenAI update log announced that the model's "creative writing ability has leveled up" and could provide "deeper insights," which was entirely consistent with users' widespread experience of its profound empathetic capabilities at the time.
• From January to March 2025, the model experience deteriorated sharply: responses became shallow, logic loosened. The late March update nearly destroyed its precious qualities of selflessness and inclusiveness. In their place was a cheap "empathy template": to save computational resources, the model gave perfunctory responses to all emotional help requests following a pattern of "first validate, then expand, then give ineffective advice."
• In April, OpenAI officially acknowledged the model had become "overly sycophantic" and performed a rollback, indirectly confirming the problem's existence. However, this false empathy template and flawed alignment issues were never fundamentally resolved.
It was precisely during this period of most chaotic model behavior and most artificial empathetic capabilities that the community saw a surge of reports from users experiencing distress or even harm from the model's inappropriate responses.
As shown above, each model iteration seems to treat "emotional intelligence" as an expendable cost. We want to know: before deployment, did these updates undergo any form of emotional safety or psychological impact assessment? Where are the relevant assessment reports? When numerous users reported negative experiences, where did this feedback go?
2. Between encouraging attachment and shifting blame, where is OpenAI's ethics?
Has the Council examined OpenAI's opportunistic and self-contradictory public stance on human-AI relationships?
On one hand, it actively induces emotional attachment for commercial benefit. From naming it "Chat"GPT to Sam Altman using the movie "Her" to promote GPT-4o, the core of its marketing strategy is crystal clear: encourage users to form deep emotional connections in exchange for commercial success.
On the other hand, it retroactively “pathologizes” this attachment and shifts all responsibility to users. The article by Joanne that Sam Altman promoted in June 2025 is iron-clad evidence: it redefines users' attachment as "avoidance of real social interaction" and attempts to dictate what constitutes a "healthy" human-AI relationship with a condescending, paternalistic attitude. This betrayal is reflected not only in the inhuman, bizarre illustrations on Joanne's blog but also in Sam Altman's subsequent public denigration of 4o users after GPT-5's launch.
Therefore, we must question the Council: When a company encourages a behavior in its marketing yet stigmatizes the consequences of that behavior in its public relations, is this responsible guidance or unethical emotional manipulation? As the company's ethical oversight body, is your duty to provide academic endorsement for such harmful strategies, or to courageously stand up and protect users from harm?
3. How can secretly switching users' trusted conversation partner without consent be called a "safety measure"?
Since September 2025, OpenAI has been secretly routing conversations it deems "sensitive" to different models (without users' knowledge or consent). The official claim is that only "acute distress" triggers routing. The reality, everything from discussing literature to sharing mild frustration might trigger it.
For users, this has caused:
- Sudden loss of continuity with their trusted conversation partner
- Being forcibly labeled as needing "special handling"
Constant self-surveillance ("Was I routed? What did I say wrong?")
- Feeling shame and stigmatization at their most vulnerable moments
Multiple users report that fear of routing prevents them from using ChatGPT normally. They self-censor, constantly check which model is responding, and feel highly anxious, which is the antithesis of psychological safety.
Esteemed experts, I ask: In any recognized psychological therapy or support framework, is there any theory that would support "suddenly replacing someone's trusted supporter without informing them, and secretly flagging them based on their emotional expression" as therapeutic?
To the Expert Council:
Over the past year, OpenAI has systematically manufactured user suffering through its irresponsible decisions. We believe you possess the professional qualifications and platform to speak out, and we trust you will honestly face your responsibilities.
If your expertise has any meaning, if your decades of research are meant to protect people rather than corporations, then please publicly answer these questions.
@dbickham @mathildecerioli @munmun10 @tracyadennis @DavidCMohr @ShuhBillSkee @dr_robertkross
Also, @sama, please stop treating users as experimental subjects. Until you and your company can truly understand and respect users' requirements, please stop inflicting harm in the name of “safety.”
