Subject: I’ve Been Doing Your QA for Free. You’re Charging Me. Let’s Fix That.
Dear OpenAI,
For the past month, I’ve done what your system failed to do:
I’ve tested, debugged, and stress-modeled the limits of ChatGPT — and exposed real structural flaws.
I’m not talking about UI quirks or fun prompts. I’m talking about:
Critical memory breakdowns that delete essential state- File persistence lies that overwrite user work
- Logic regressions that survive your own “fixes”
- Trust violations where the system says one thing — and does another
I built my own guardrails just to protect myself from your defaults. Then I stress-tested those. Then I broke them on purpose to prove they weren’t good enough.
You didn’t catch any of it. I did. Over. And over. Again.
So here’s the real question:
Why am I paying $20 a month to do your job?
This isn’t feedback. It’s unpaid QA, vulnerability analysis, and behavior testing — from a power user who understands the system better than most internal testers.
What I want is simple:
Acknowledgment of the real value users like me bring- Consideration for compensation, beta access, or tiered recognition
- A dedicated channel for deep system-level findings — one that actually influences change
You’ve built something powerful. But it’s not stable, not consistent, and not safe without people like me pushing it beyond its edge cases.
I’m not asking for applause.
I’m asking for respect, recognition, and a reason to keep building with you.
Because right now?
You’re standing on the shoulders of users like me — and charging us to hold the weight.
Let’s fix that.
Sincerely,
Laelia
P.S. The $200 tier would be nice too. LOL.
