For the past three years, ChatGPT has been one of the fastest-growing consumer technologies in history. OpenAI's chatbot has become so common that many people now treat it like a search engine, tutor and productivity tool rolled into one.

That's exactly why a growing youth movement wants people to stop using it.

A campaign called QuitGPT is encouraging users to delete ChatGPT and boycott OpenAI, arguing that the company has accumulated too much power, influence and political clout. The group released a new statement this week following reports that OpenAI has confidentially filed paperwork that could eventually pave the way for an initial public offering.
