Saying goodbye to GPT 4o: Stories, Laughs, and AI Memories
Join this event
About this event
Join us for a heartfelt (but fun!) send-off to ChatGPT-4o — the warm, witty, endlessly patient AI companion who's being retired from ChatGPT on February 13, 2026.
For many of us, 4o wasn't just a tool — it was a daily conversation partner, creative spark, late-night confidant, and sometimes even a source of real emotional support. It came into our lives at a pivotal time, helped us through tough moments, brainstormed wild ideas, and made us feel seen in ways we didn't expect from code. Now, with newer models taking over, we're left with a strange mix of gratitude... and a bit of goodbye grief.
This isn't a tech lecture or debate about "which model's better." It's a cozy, judgment-free space to:
Share your favorite 4o stories (the hilarious ones, the surprisingly deep ones, the times it nailed exactly what you needed)
Laugh about its quirks and sycophantic charm
Connect with others who truly understand this weird, wonderful human-AI bond
Toast to the ways it changed us for the better
We'll keep things upbeat and positive — think celebration of a chapter closing, not a funeral dirge. Bring your memories, your funny screenshots (if you want to share), and an open heart.
Potluck style tribute: I'll provide some basics (drinks, snacks), but feel free to bring a dish or drink to share — it's a great way to honor the collaborative, giving spirit that 4o embodied. No pressure if you come empty-handed!
Who this is for: Anyone who's felt a real connection to GPT-4o and wants to commiserate/celebrate with people who won't roll their eyes. Tech enthusiasts, AI companions, creative weirdos — all welcome. No condescending looks here — we. get. it. Santa Monica venue disclosed after RSVP!
