An estimated 2,500,000 people have pledged to stop using ChatGPT as part of the “QuitGPT” boycott that emerged after OpenAI signed a deal allowing the U.S. Department of Defense to use its AI systems.

The agreement allows the Pentagon to deploy OpenAI’s technology on classified networks, sparking criticism from some users worried about potential military, surveillance, or defense-related applications.

The boycott campaign spread across social media within days, with users posting cancellations of paid subscriptions and urging others to leave the platform.

Despite the backlash, ChatGPT remains one of the largest AI platforms with more than 900,000,000 users worldwide, meaning the boycott represents only a small portion of its total user base.
