BitGrab v1 – A physical co-creation with GPT that didn’t make it into the archive

Hello OpenAI team & community,

I’m sharing BitGrab v1, the result of an unusual collaboration between human and AI – a deconstructed hard drive turned into a physical art piece, entirely co-designed with GPT.

This is not just AI-generated content. This is a hybrid creation:

– Concept by a human (me)

– Design developed in direct dialogue with GPT

– Layout, naming, storytelling, certificate, and positioning — all co-created

– The final piece exists physically, signed and framed

After a polite rejection by OpenAI Support (understandably not the archive gatekeepers), I’m posting this here. I figured this forum might be the better place to celebrate projects that show how GPT can go beyond prompts – into the world of tactile, symbolic, even personal expression.

:artist_palette: About the object

– Name: BitGrab v1 – The Final Read Operation

– Medium: Disassembled HDD (WD2000), mounted and arranged with labeled components

– QR code links to a digital “memory fragment”

– Certificate included (designed with GPT, signed by me)

:receipt: PDF Certificate: [attached if upload possible]

I’m offering it to OpenAI – not to get rich (price: symbolic 45 €), but to mark it as the first physical GPT-human artifact in a potential collection or archive.

If it ends up in a drawer, fine. If it ends up as a weird footnote in the history of AI interaction – even better.

Thanks for your attention.

Signed,
