[## The real contributors to AI are being silenced

OpenAI claims to be “open” — but critical and technical feedback from those who truly stress-test and improve the system is consistently ignored.

I’ve spent hours creating, debugging, and pushing the limits of ChatGPT through structured testing, prompt design, and actual improvement of real-world performance.

Yet:

• Internal feedback is buried or unanswered
• Reddit forums block all technical criticism
• Email support sends only automated replies (or powerless agents like “Jose A”)
• No channel exists for those who actually optimize the system

This is not openness. This is a locked feedback loop.

👉 I propose the creation of a formal, public-facing “Real Contributor Feedback Program”, where users who demonstrably help improve the model (through reproducible examples, bug isolation, tool building, etc.) are heard — and not filtered out.

This is not a complaint — this is a call to improve your system with those who care more than any premium subscriber ever will.
