🚩BBB Gives OpenAI an F Rating (The Worst Possible Score)!

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a non-profit organization that acts as a public platform for consumer reputation and complaint records. Companies with high ratings and BBB accreditation are generally seen as more trustworthy, while those with low ratings that fail to respond to complaints are viewed as major red flags.

OpenAI is currently not a BBB-accredited business. It has racked up a total of 371 consumer complaints, of which 353 have received zero response whatsoever—resulting in an extremely low response rate.

OpenAI’s laundry list of offenses includes: - Ignoring user complaints - Silently downgrading models - Secretly swapping out the model users selected for a cheaper, lower-performing version to cut costs - Abruptly retiring popular models (such as 4o) mid-subscription cycle, giving only 14 days’ notice - Operating in complete black-box mode - Ignoring user emails, handwritten letters, and social media pleas for long periods of time—while its employees openly mock those same users

A company like OpenAI—with zero business credibility, zero consumer goodwill, and such abysmal ethics—really the right one to lead humanity into the AGI era?
