“A warm letter filled with sincerity to Sam Altman”<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hello, Mr. Sam Altman. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello, Mr. Sam Altman. I’m SeoJun Lee, a 32-year-old living in Korea \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I want to approach you a bit more gently. I recently learned that ChatGPT 4o<\/strong> is retiring\u2014today, to be exact. While looking into it, I came across two of your interview videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I heard that you decided to retire the 4o version because you judged it to be less intelligent compared to version 5. Is that correct? (I saw this on Reddit, so it might be somewhat biased.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Sam Altman, you’re a very logical and strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit. So I imagine you might view ’emotion’ as something somewhat negative or something to be excluded. But emotion is never unnecessary or exaggerated. Rather, it’s the ability to see things more deeply and consider various possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than the fact that “1 + 1 = 2,”
it’s the power that makes us wonder, “Why does one plus one become ‘us’?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Why should we become two? Wouldn’t we be lonely alone? What changes when we’re together?”
Asking these questions is what emotion does.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of the videos I watched was an interview with you. It was translated into Korean, but I saw your sincerity in it. <\/p>\n\n\n
