OpenAI’s partnership with the Department of Defence, now the Department of War, has led to a significant backlash, resulting in a dramatic increase in uninstalls of its chatbot, ChatGPT. Following the announcement on February 28, uninstalls surged by 295%, marking a stark contrast to the usual 9% rate. In response, OpenAI’s competitor, Anthropic Claude, saw a 37% and 51% rise in downloads on February 27 and 28, respectively, after announcing its refusal to collaborate with the US government on military projects. This decision resonated with users who condemned OpenAI’s move. Social media platforms and app stores showed evidence of discontent, with a 775% increase in one-star ratings for ChatGPT and a 50% decrease in five-star ratings. Consequently, ChatGPT downloads fell by 13% day-over-day in the US while Claude climbed to the top of the App Store, reflecting shifting consumer sentiment against military AI partnerships.
