OpenAI exec Dean Ball posted a long rebuttal to critics: he says he was not hired to "fix AI's image problem" and doesn't get up each day to make critics feel good about tokens, while affirming AI has enriched his life. Some found it hard to believe an OpenAI account would post this — a notable drama moment in the ongoing AI-PR debate.
