Key Details of Her Departure

Method of Resignation: Hitzig published a scathing opinion piece in the New York Times titled "OpenAI Is Making the Mistakes Facebook Made. I Quit.".

Primary Reason: Her resignation was a direct protest against OpenAI's plans to introduce advertising into ChatGPT.

Core Warning: She cautioned that OpenAI has built an "unprecedented archive of human candor" through user interactions. She argued that introducing ads would incentivize the company to manipulate users by leveraging this intimate data, following the same harmful trajectory as social media giants like Meta.
