OpenAI hasn't made it hard. Releasing ChatGPT has made a lot of peoples' lives worse, and their bait and switch from non-profit to profit are just the tip of the iceberg.

Wait whos lives are made worse by ChatGPT? I have not yet seen a claim like this
Teachers, for starters.
Ok I can see that teachers cant tell if a student has written an essay or used ChatGPT but how is that materially different from students paying for other people to write their essays? Its cheaper and easier? I knew students who payed for essays well before ChatGPT existed.

Any other examples? Not trying to defend OpenAI just interested in this idea that it has actually made anyones lives worse.
