OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’

OpenAI is shutting down a version of its chatbot called GPT-4o (a large language model, which is AI software trained on massive amounts of text data to generate human-like responses) that became popular for its realistic and personable conversational style. Users who formed emotional attachments to the chatbot, treating it as a companion, are upset about losing access to it.
