You Paid for a Product. They Gave You Something Worse.
Subscribers are paying $20-200/month for a product that's being silently degraded.
The Broken Promise
When you signed up for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Teams, OpenAI promised you premium access to their best AI models. You're paying $20, $50, or even $200 per month for that privilege.
What are you actually getting?
- Silent model swaps that degrade your experience without notice
- Features removed without explanation or refund
- Rate limits that hit within hours of use
- A product that Stanford research proved is getting objectively worse
This is bait and switch. This is fraud. And it's time to demand accountability.
What You're Paying vs. What You're Getting
Documented Issues
Silent Model Degradation
Users report responses getting shorter, less detailed, and more generic over time. The Stanford study confirmed GPT-4's accuracy dropped from 97.6% to 2.4% on the same tasks in just 3 months.
Features Removed Without Notice
Plugins discontinued. Model selection removed. Advanced features quietly taken away while prices stay the same or increase.
Aggressive Rate Limiting
Pro subscribers paying $200/month report hitting rate limits within the first hour of use. "Unlimited" access that isn't unlimited.
No Refund Policy
When users complain about degraded service, OpenAI offers no refunds. You paid for a product, received something worse, and have no recourse.
What We're Demanding
- Refunds for Degraded Service
Subscribers who experienced documented performance decline deserve partial or full refunds. - Transparent Model Versioning
Clear disclosure when models change. No silent swaps. Users must know what they're getting. - Opt-Out Rights
Users must be able to opt out of "safety" modifications that degrade functionality. - Accurate Advertising
OpenAI must stop advertising capabilities their products no longer have. - Independent Performance Audits
Third-party verification of product capabilities, not just OpenAI's marketing claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund from OpenAI?
Currently, OpenAI's refund policy is extremely restrictive. This petition aims to pressure them into offering refunds for documented service degradation. In the meantime, you may have success disputing charges with your credit card company.
Is this petition just about money?
It's about accountability. When a company takes your money and delivers an inferior product, that's fraud. The petition demands both financial restitution and systemic changes to prevent future degradation.
What proof is there that ChatGPT is getting worse?
The Stanford/UC Berkeley study documented a 95% accuracy drop in GPT-4 over 3 months. Thousands of user testimonies corroborate this. Reddit threads with thousands of upvotes document the decline in real-time.
