S. app uninstalls of ChatGPT’s mobile app jumped 295% day-over-day on Saturday, February 28, as consumers responded to the news of OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense (DoD), which has been rebranded under the Trump administration as the Department of War.
This data, which comes from market intelligence provider Sensor Tower, represents a sizable increase compared with ChatGPT’s typical day-over-day uninstall rate of 9%, as measured over the past 30 days.
Meanwhile, U.S. downloads for OpenAI competitor Anthropic’s Claude jumped up by 37% day-over-day on Friday, February 27, and 51% as of Saturday, February 28, after the company announced that it would not partner with the U.S. defense department. Anthropic said it was not able to agree on the deal terms over concerns that AI would be used to surveil Americans and be used in fully autonomous weaponry, which AI is not yet ready to do safely.
Good. Fuck ‘em.
I am not subscribed to openai. Is there a way for me to not subscribe even harder?
I’d say pirate it but well cloud based and all kinda takes the wind from those sails.
What really sucks is Google is likely to remove all those 1 star reviews, they’ve done it before when shit like this happens.
Edit: i feel like a good review could be…
1 star. By using this service you’ll be helping ChatGPT autonomously surveil you through the government and murder you with robots without any human in the loop. Don’t let ChatGPT kill you!
I convinced two friends to cancel their monthly sub. I guess that’s something.
Every little bit counts
I didn’t have a subscription but I still deleted my account.

Anthropic said it was not able to agree on the deal terms over concerns that AI would be used to surveil Americans and be used in fully autonomous weaponry, which AI is not yet ready to do safely.
To add to this, Anthropic also said (in other words I do not recall) that even if AI could do it safely, there would be ethical concerns about oversight.
Deepseek. Take my data Xi. Please liberate us from our pedophilic ruling class. Please bring us high speed rail. Amen.

I’ve switched to Mistral. It’s not quite on the same level of performance but certainly worth not being on a American dubious setup.
But the fewer people who use it the less money they’ll lose
I did it too and for that reason (dod contract)
Copilot says these are ethical alternatives
copilot isnt even recommending himself. he knows he sucks 😔
It’s dangerous when we start calling it a he/she.
i don’t have app, but may install to prop the uninstall numbers
