  "textContent": "Dear OpenAI Team,\n\nI wanted to share my concern about retiring DALL·E 3 and ask that you reconsider removing it completely.\n\nDALL·E 3 feels creatively different from newer image models in ways that are hard to replace. There’s something special about the atmosphere, symbolism, mood, and artistic interpretation it brings to prompts. It became more than just an image generator for many of us — it became part of how we create.\n\nAs someone who uses it for creative work and worldbuilding, I’ve found that newer systems don’t always capture the same feeling or visual depth that DALL·E 3 could. Losing access to it feels less like a normal update and more like losing a unique artistic tool.\n\nEven if full support can’t continue, I hope OpenAI would consider some form of legacy access or limited availability for users who still rely on it creatively.\n\nThank you for everything DALL·E 3 has inspired, and thank you for taking the time to read this.\n\nSincerely,\nAlexandriaG",
