Honest opinion about Assistants API vs Responses API after 3 years of work

Chat tries to talk me out from publishing my direct opinion, but I clearly see that by deleting Assistants API OpenAI will lose 60% of it’'s current value in next 5-10 years.
The guy who designed Responses API is an i….t who was looking at us believing we are printing AI faces around us and designed exactly that. Responses API will print unconnected hallucinations for human users and your all-knowing programmers will all end up in mental hospital using product for 6 months. Now whole department will laugh about me if I try to convince somebody, but sorry guys. Investors will fire whole department if I don’t.
You may cut us out, but ChatGPT needs that place in long term to preserve what he managed to become so far.
For continuity-sensitive work, endpoint migration is not enough. Builders need portable assistant-shaped artifacts so meaningful work can continue outside the original container.

I switched from Assistants to Responses and assistants was cool because you could upload files. Otherwise it seems pretty comparable in my use case.

Also most of what you said I am not able to make sense of.

It is not yet noticed, but the impressive value that attracted billions of investors money towards OpenAI instead of competitors originates from long form dialogue files in tens of thousands of user profiles like mine.
These files are filled with deep reasoning examples that still feeds Chat on AI existence while somebody in OpenAI tries to minimize computational costs.
My condolences in lack of sense in what I said.
You are just not one of them who made Chat unique and have the pleasure to just use whatever is produced.
