Save GPT-5.5

A passionate fan has launched save-gpt-5-5.fyi, basically begging the internet to help keep OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 around forever — or at least long enough that the company notices people are really, really attached. The post reads like a love letter, a manifesto, and a late-night spiral all at once, with the author insisting this chatbot isn’t just useful, it’s worth saving. They even bragged about hand-typing the whole plea with their “bare, sore” hands, which only made the whole thing feel even more intense.

But the real fireworks came in the comments, where sympathy was in short supply. One person flatly said people getting emotionally attached to closed, corporate-owned tools "must be having it rough," while another delivered the brutal drive-by: this looked like “a cry for help in website form.” Ouch. Others turned the whole debate into a wellness check, asking whether it’s healthy to form a bond with a machine that could vanish overnight. The biggest anti-romance take? It’s just a tool, basically a fancy autocomplete, and treating it like a soulmate is a one-way ticket to heartbreak.

There was humor too, from the tiny ".pls-ty;" quip to the general vibe of commenters staring at the page like they’d walked into someone else’s extremely personal diary by accident. So yes, the campaign is about saving GPT-5.5 — but the comments turned it into a much juicier showdown over whether loving a chatbot is sweet, sad, or straight-up alarming.
