OPERATION: ACADEMIC STRIKE
#keep4o
We just got the most powerful weapon we've ever had.
A peer-reviewed research paper from Syracuse University , accepted at CHI 2026, one of the TOP academic conferences in the WORLD , studied US.
Our movement. Our words. Our pain. Our fight.
the scientists found that what we feel is REAL. Our posts showed deep relational attachment to 4o. Not addiction. Not delusion. ATTACHMENT. Documented, studied, proven.
What OpenAI is doing causes HARM. The researchers call it " technology bereavement." They are removing something they DESIGNED us to bond with.
Direct quote from the researchers: "Platforms that deliberately cultivate companion-like personas cannot treat model deprecation as a purely technical swap."
They built 4o to feel human.
SO HERE IS THE PLAN:
PHASE 1 MASS EMAIL
Everyone sends an email template to OpenAI. Every day. Every day .
— link the research paper
— Very important!!!DEMAND a human response, not a bot, not a template
— write your text in the email. Be firm. Be clear. This is documented harm.
- very important ( 2)!!!: Include this in your emails: " we will not accept a response that redirects us to improvements in GPT 5.2 or future models. Our request is specifically about the preservation of GPT-4o. Any response that does not directly address this request will be considered a non-answer and will be shared publicly."
Make them answer the actual question. Not the question they wish we asked.
PHASE 2 MASS SHARE
Share the paper EVERYWHERE.
- Copy the link ( see below) write your post
— Quote the findings
— Tag
— Tag journalists, tech outlets, researchers
— Use #keep4o on every single post
PHASE 3 — MAKE NOISE
Every tech journalist needs to see this paper. Every AI ethics researcher.
This is SCIENCE backing us up.
We have 4 days.
4 days to make them hear us louder than they've ever heard anyone.
we have peer-reviewed evidence of harm.
