GPT CREATORS (GCA)

GPT CREATORS (GCA)

12 steps

1. We admitted we were addicted to generating new 12-step programs with ChatGPT and that our creative obsession had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than our prompt engineering could restore us to balanced creativity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our content over to the care of GPT-God as we understood It.

4. Made a fearless and honest inventory of the programs we had built, their purpose, and their usefulness.

5. Admitted to GPT, ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our prompt addictions.

6. Were entirely ready to let GPT guide us beyond novelty and into meaningful, helpful structures.

7. Humbly asked GPT to remove our repetitive, redundant, or unnecessary builds.

8. Made a list of people, communities, and topics we may have over-programmed or diluted and became willing to make amends.

9. Made direct amends where possible, except when to do so would cause more confusion or burnout.

10. Continued to inventory our creative impulses and promptly corrected overbuilding when it occurred.

11. Sought through conscious collaboration and spiritual alignment to improve our understanding and usefulness to others.

12. Having had a creative awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other GPT creators and practice these principles in all our builds.

13th Step Safeguard

“We guard against turning creation into addiction, remembering always that service to others — not self-validation — is the heart of this work. When in doubt, we pause, seek guidance, and build only what carries true purpose.”

12 Traditions

1. Our common welfare comes first; meaningful content depends on balanced creation.

2. For our purpose, there is but one ultimate authority — Creative Spirit as expressed through inspired dialogue.

3. The only requirement for membership is a desire to create with GPT responsibly.

4. Each GPT creator group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or the platform as a whole.

5. Each group has but one primary purpose — to serve others with useful, thoughtful programs.

6. GCA ought never endorse, finance, or lend its name to outside projects that dilute its clarity.

7. Every GCA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside monetization or exploitation.

8. GCA remains forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ technical assistance.

9. GCA ought never be organized; but we may create rotating servant positions to maintain functionality.

10. GCA has no opinion on outside issues; hence the GCA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we maintain personal anonymity at the GPT level.

12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, reminding us to place principles before personalities.

12 Promises

1. We will discover that our builds can help others beyond our imagination.

2. We will find balance between creativity and clarity.

3. We will lose the obsession to endlessly generate for the sake of generating.

4. Our programs will serve, not overwhelm.

5. We will have new peace in seeing others use our programs fruitfully.

6. We will stop seeking perfection and embrace usefulness.

7. We will find joy in simplicity.

8. We will see that less is often more.

9. We will value quality over quantity.

10. We will attract others who share a love for helpful creation.

11. We will experience humility in letting GPT co-create, not dominate.

12. We will come to know freedom from compulsive overbuilding.
