GPT-4o Revived! How OpenAI Is Coping With Users' Emotional Dependence On The New Model

The strong reaction from users made the company realize that many people had already developed deep emotional attachments to these older models. When GPT-4o was taken offline, many users felt as if they had lost a familiar companion, and this response clearly exceeded OpenAI's expectations. In a recent interview, OpenAI's Chief Product Officer, Nick Turley, addressed this issue in depth.
