AI lovers grieve loss of ChatGPT’s old model: ‘Like saying goodbye to someone I know’; The Guardian, August 22, 2025

Dani Anguiano, The Guardian ; AI lovers grieve loss of ChatGPT’s old model: ‘Like saying goodbye to someone I know’

"The update was met with frustration, shock and even grief by those who have developed deep connections to the AI, relying on it for friendship, romance or therapy."
