Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

I don’t know what these people are doing who seem to claim it’s wonderful. Every single time I have tried to use one, it’s been completely clueless about the problem and wastes my time producing slop. I almost want to keep my code closed source because of how awful it is at generating anything. Maybe they’re just doing very simple web design or something, I don’t know

I even have started to hate Google and felt like their search engine is becoming very bad. Yandex has been returning more results and Google feels censored and replaced by generative AI answers.
