A grassroots coalition called QuitGPT has launched a pledge that calls on politicians to side with voters rather than a $140 million AI machine backed by large technology companies. The pledge is framed as a counterweight to industry lobbying in the current political cycle.

The Register reports that the effort specifically targets Leading the Future, which is pushing for lighter regulation in the lead-up to the midterm elections. QuitGPT's pledge appears intended to pressure candidates by making the choice between public interest and Big AI's spending an explicit campaign issue.
