Glad that I've switched platforms. sam altman should probably be in prison or something.

I've been using Venice lately, they claim (I have done zero research to determine if this is true) that they're privacy focused. They do run uncensored models, which is a big plus.

That said, I find myself using the lying machine less these days. It was like a fun video game when I first got my hands on it, entertaining for a while, and I'm moving on. Maybe I'm not imaginative enough to use it to the fullest potential, but I'm having more fulfillment actually writing and actually drawing (even though I am very bad at both).

Just the little push I needed to close my ChatGPT account

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same! Was planning on doing this today.

What do you plan to switch to? I’m currently thinking a combination of Claude and something else for images if it turns out I really need to pay for it.

Yeah instead of arguing over whether Anthropic is actually good, let’s unite around “fuck OpenAI.”

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Since this article, Anthropic's Claude AI app has claimed the #1 top spot over ChatGPT on both Android and iOS.

Now imagine my shock when I had done the swap from ChatGPT to Claude the day before the news about Anthropic's (now backpedalled) deal. Anyway, I deleted ChatGPT and Gemini accounts and degoogled my life while I was at it.

Oh the stupidity, they already burn cash in dumpsters, they were always supplementing that with the users paying for it. The billionaires don't give a shit, it's a surveillance system not a chat box.

[–] Paddy66@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I would assume that Anthropic's stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.

AI is fascism!

Hell, yeah SCAM ALTMAN men can get BENT. I cancelled mine in solidarity with the Feb 13th crowd.

[–] StopTech@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

The "Cancel ChatGPT movement" doesn't appear to be mentioned in the article, but other outlets say hashtags like #CancelChatGPT are trending on X.
