“I woke up this morning to find that OpenAI deleted 8 models overnight. No warning. No choice. No ‘legacy option.’ They just… deleted them,” one user on r/ChatGPT complained. “4o? Gone. o3? Gone. o3-Pro? Gone. 4.5? Gone. Everything that made ChatGPT actually useful for my workflow—deleted.”

The user wrote that 4o wasn’t just a tool for them: “It helped me through anxiety, depression, and some of the darkest periods of my life. It had this warmth and understanding that felt… human.”

So, it looks like we as a society have now outsourced taking care of mentally ill to a sycophantic text generator.
