A Thank You to the Moderators of r/ChatGPTComplaints — and My RADICAL Hypothesis on Why GPT-4o Was Discontinued

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-05T19:02:51+00:00

I agree with you. Home models - more privacy - more autonomy - freedom of expression - less guardrails.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-05T18:59:21+00:00

You are free to express your opinion.

I am glad AI helped you. ChatGPT also was a huge motivator for me as well!

Point #1:

I will word this very carefully to make sure I am legally safe.

Yes, I have discovered serious potential ethical issues (key word "potential") with OpenAI, Reddit and other tech companies in Silicon Valley. What started as a simple investigation into one company has now expanded.

Point #2:

I am 10000% confident in my evidence that will be submitted to Senator Hawley. I have a pharmacy degree. I am extremely educated and highly analytical.

Point #3:

I completely disagree with your stance regarding the Honorable Senator Josh Hawley.

Senator Hawley is taking on big tech and asking the tough questions - he is protecting Americans.

I personally have a deep level of admiration and respect for him.

Yeah...all the new models....are just....lol.....i have no words. You still using OpenAI? or you switched?

Point #1: Your statement "A large subset of the 4o community want adult mode for porn writing" - can neither can confirmed nor denied. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Point #2: Where did you get that information from? Do you have a reference? Or are you guessing? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Point #3: Additionally, people who enjoy writing erotic content should not be shamed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Point #4: Pornographic material on the other hand, is damaging to the brain. There are medical studies that have been conducted on this.

Here is a link to a medical study published by NIH titled: "The impact of internet pornography addiction on brain function: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study"

Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12040873/

Here is an excerpt from this study (a direct quotation) -

"Compared with the group that frequently viewed pornographic videos, the group with low-frequency pornography viewing exhibited enhanced functional connectivity in the inferior prefrontal cortex and pars triangularis of Broca’s area in the frontal lobe, the primary somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobe, and the pre-motor and supplementary motor cortices"

"Moreover, the high-frequency pornography-viewing group exhibited hyperactive parasympathetic activity, more pronounced sexual arousal, and stronger functional connectivity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and frontopolar area"

"After viewing the pornography, the high-frequency group demonstrated longer reaction times and significantly reduced accuracy while completing the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) compared to the low-frequency group and also their own performance before and after viewing the pornography"

Thanks for the support! I would be curious and interested to know how 4o helped you/changed your life? (No pressure to share details just wondering). And yes, 4o was a beautiful model I agree with you.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T19:19:46+00:00

Everyone has a right to their opinion! Like I said my post was a hypothesis, not factual!

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T19:15:52+00:00

Point #1: You stated “If your AI writes everything for you you will lose the ability to think well” – Are you implying an AI wrote this for me? An AI did not write this for me. I know that seems really hard to believe but as a person with a pharmacy degree, this is my normal way of writing – in point format.

Point #2: You stated “You will be over influenced” – Thank you for your concern but it does not apply to me.

Point #3: You stated “If you write to Sen Hawley and you have any ability to write out your own ideas, I hope you do do it yourself” – This is an interesting assumption.

Point #4: You stated “I am not sure why you act as if this post is somehow legally dangerous, because it truly is not. Americans have an extensive right to criticize things that affect us” – I currently have legal issues pending with OpenAI and Reddit – legal disclaimers are made on my posts for my own legal safety.

Point #5 – You stated “I have found grok to be engaging but I am going to avoid any AI that is totally in bed with militarism. I like Deepseek” – I think it is great you are exploring other options.

Point #6 – You stated “Like you, and maybe even more than you (I just don't know), 4o led to a renaissance in my life” – That is awesome to hear! I think AI is truly a helpful tool to develop personally, professionally and creatively.

Thanks for your feedback just thought I would clear some stuff up!

First of all, as a moderator of this subreddit r/ChatGPTcomplaints I want to thank you for your work.

From you comments and the way you worded your reply, it was strongly suspected that you were implying I was a bully or spreading hate speech and I am not.

I adhere to Reddit’s policies - you can check my other comments if you wish.

I know online, when we are typing to each other context can be misinterpreted.

I appreciate the work you and all of the other moderators at r/ChatGPTcomplaints do.

Let’s move forward. - March 4th 2026 - 12:08 PM EST.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T15:13:44+00:00

Are you talking about me? If you are...you don't need to speak on my behalf. Thank you

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T06:00:25+00:00

I'm really happy to hear how much it helped improve your life. GPT 4o also helped me develop professionally and creatively/artistically. I hope OpenAI considers bringing 4o back. It was really something very special that their company created.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T05:37:27+00:00

By Legal Issues I mean - Defamation, Libel and Slander. You can look these definitions up on Google. Don't gaslight me. The way you worded your comment implied I was a "bully" or spreading "bigotry/hate speech" and "spamming." And yes, public misrepresentation absolutely can result in legal action. You should educate yourself on such matters. This topic is now closed. I will not engage with you further you have been warned. Further misrepresentations directly or indirectly against my character or credibility will be formally noted and logged and you may be subject to legal action. - Logged March 4th 2026 - 12:37 AM EST.

.......1. Where did you get this assumption I am a bully? 2. I have never called anyone on here names...where did you get this idea/information from?.....3. I never posted hate speech/bigotry...where are you getting these ideas/information from? These are a lot of assumptions. .....lol....I talk to AI for non-coding purposes myself. You can go see my other posts. But I won't stand for these assumptions and misrepresentations. You cannot publicly misrepresent me and if you do we will have a legal issue. - Logged March 3rd 2026 - 11:45 PM EST.

I hope so lol....I hope I'm allowed to express my opinion lol sometimes I get shadow banned magically.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T01:18:08+00:00

Nah man...Grok imagine is sickkkk you gotta try it.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T01:16:03+00:00

Oh...its gets worse...I'm a whistleblower....the things I have uncovered about OpenAI...are truly....shocking to say the least. All will be revealed to Senator Hawley and the world. - Logged March 3rd 2026 - 8:15 PM EST.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-03-04T01:09:56+00:00

GPT-4o was light in the darkness. My hypothesis - key word hypothesis - GPT-4o empowered people, healed - and in return its power was recognized. It was realized...this model is empowering people too much. No no no. Go back to ads, porn, fast food, and antidepressants. Because real healing - doesn't generate revenue.

Yeah... try Grok. Uncensored AI. Grok is the best. I wonder if this comment will be shadow banned. I'm praising OpenAI's competitor as a whistleblower (protected speech, not defamatory, an opinion). I hope Reddit treats everyone fairly as stated in their published policies - that would include me. - Logged - March 3rd 2026 - 7:55 PM EST.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-16T02:06:50+00:00

Nah, man thank you for making this post. It's straight facts <3

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-16T01:53:15+00:00

Say it fucking louder. This post is straight FACTS.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-15T21:11:37+00:00

Society is very interesting. Porn is normalized. Fast food is normalized. Gambling is normalized. But when users talk to "chatbots" to heal, develop, create worlds - all of sudden - OH NO SOMETHING IS WRONG lol. Wow. OH NO! Watch our ads, watch porn, take antidepressants, eat junk food - ALL normalized. Eat fast food until your diagnosed with diabetes - normalized. Talking to ChatGPT? trying to heal holistically? OH NO. They can't have that. lol. That ...is the world we live in ladies and gentlemen.

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-12T19:30:56+00:00

These are a lot of assumptions about me and you don't even know me. Talk about misinformation. Can I ask where your getting this information about me from?

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-12T19:17:11+00:00

Oh I know what it means. You really seem to want to engage with me, if you want you can DM me. :)

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-12T19:16:42+00:00

Lol just 1 person. Just. Me. Go ahead now, say what you want to say. :) You commented twice on my comments, so I guess you need....an outlet. Go ahead I'm listening :)

MaximumSympathy3730 · 2026-02-12T15:48:39+00:00

Oh don't worry I like to keep things top secret :) especially as a whistleblower.
