According to reports, the viral job application had strange proposals including hiring large AI teams from rival digital firms and replacing senior executives with AI agents.
According to reports, OpenAI rejected the widely shared job application of Ömer Öztok, a tech expert who applied for the CEO role. Although the business that created ChatGPT reportedly appreciated his "boldness," they thought his ideas were "apocalyptic."
The Economic Times claims that instead of sending a standard cover letter, Öztok's viral job application had outlandish suggestions like hiring full AI teams from competing tech firms and replacing senior executives with AI agents.
What was it that Ömer Öztok suggested?
According to reports, Öztok wrote that "I'll replace the entire C-Suite (except myself) with ChatGPT agents" as his first move as CEO of OpenAI.
In screenshots that have gone viral, he is also seen making jokes about stealing Meta's AI team, selling ChatGPT Plus for life, and using just his own tweets to train GPT-6.
Öztok, who claims to be the founder of several firms, posted OpenAI's reaction to his "overambitious" application on LinkedIn, stating, "I shot my shot." This time, for something more significant: OpenAI's CEO.
He stated that his venture would eventually surpass Sam Altman's company, adding, "Apparently, replacing the entire C-Suite with ChatGPT agents raised some concerns." "It's okay. Lynkr will eventually surpass OpenAI. Simply observe.
The purported email rejection
According to screenshots provided by Öztok, OpenAI's email answer referred to concepts as "apocalyptic" and legally "disruptive." His candidacy was purportedly rejected by the corporation, which stated that it would proceed with a more "traditional candidate who did not request half the company."

To Mr. Oztok,
We appreciate your recent application to be OpenAl's CEO. Although your passion is unparalleled, our executive team was concerned about a few aspects of your application. The following was written in your cover letter: "As my first action, I'll replace the entire C-Suite (except myself) with ChatGPT agents." This was viewed as... catastrophic.
Furthermore, legal identified your plan to "poach the entire Al team from Meta by offering them ChatGPT Plus for life, acquire Google just for the name, and train GPT-6 exclusively on my tweets" as disruptive.
Although we respect your audacity, we've decided to proceed with a more conventional applicant who did not request 50% of the business.
We hope all of your future endeavors go well.
The Global Leadership Team of OpenAI

Social media users found the applicant's email discussion with OpenAI amusing and praised Oztok for taking a gamble.
One person commented, "I guess shooters shot."
"Flew too close to the sun," remarked another.
Another joked, "You should have asked for 49%.
A netizen joked, "The rejection was written with AI too."
"It would have been cruel to simply text, 'YOU DIDNT MEET OUR STANDARD,'" another said.
One user commented, "I guess it's only apocalyptic when executive jobs are disappearing under them, huh?"
Another person said, "Elon Musk would probably do the same, and people would love it."
