Abstract
In 2023, OpenAI's Democratic Inputs program funded 10 teams to design procedures for public participation in generative AI. In this perspective, we review the results of the project, drawing on interviews with some of the teams and our own experiences conducting participation exercises. We identify several shared yet largely unspoken assumptions of the project and encourage alternative forms of participation in AI perhaps coming from outside the tech industry.
