  1. I’ve always hated this phrase because it always seemed to diminish the gravity of the horribly debilitating disease that is it’s namesake, but I’ll be damned if the first words out of my mouth weren’t “That’s fucking cancer”

  2. So, just to he clear, they are making a product worse before they control the market. This will kill their business right? People will just go to other AI companies like Google?

  3. Yeah, of course it will – This is not ‘inevitable’, nor is it ‘the future’ if consumers have any sanity left. This shit has driven me to become more analog, use a wrist watch rather than check my phone for the time, read more instead of scroll, go watch films rather than shorts – ugh, I want my brain and my attention span back. Enshitification is fcking everything about tech and the internet up, but honestly, it might literally drive folks to go touch grass… fck this forced Gen AI shit on everything, legit…

  4. The amount of ChatGPT/ AI slop that users are posting to Reddit must represent 1/3 of posts and comments now. It’s ridiculous and poor human judgement driven. I feel like 90 percent of the internet now is comprised of bots, AI slop, and people with sub 6th grade intellect who use/consume it.

  5. This does not feel like it should be legal. The regulations that require content creators to clearly mark sponsorships should absolutely apply to AI chatbots IMO 😅

    Just canceled my GPT subscription. I’ve been with them since the beginning but enough is enough. Moved it over to Claude.

  7. So basically it makes the answers to questions even less reliable. Great, just what we need.

    The AI bubble is going to burst so hard.

    I used chatgpt the other day, for the first time ever, asking to create a schedule that goes out to April 2026. It said “Here is a schedule for the next 18 months”. Just right out of the gate sloppy and incorrect.

  9. Lmao ai couldn’t even last a year before its starting to become a glorified google search 😂😂😂😂

  10. So this is just google search but wrong 10% of the time and comes with higher DDR5 and electricity prices.

  11. AI has always been about maximizing profit; are we surprised by this?

    I once asked ChatGPT to suggest 4 additional colours that complement 2 I already had selected and it spat out 4 additional mediocre/uninspiring shades of blue gold and grey with an unsolicited comment that these colours would maximize my market reach. It was a fascinating response. The profit motive is baked into the technology.

  12. Pack it up boys. Party is over. I hated AI before. Now I’m probably going to hate it even more.

  13. “Help! My grandma has extremely low blood sugar, what do I do?”

    Give here an ice cold Coca Cola.

    “I don’t have any, what else can I use?”

    Here’s a list of nearby funeral homes

    The moment I realize (key moment, but rare) that I’m being marketed to by ChatGPT will be the moment I no longer use it.

  15. Yo dog we heard you like slop so we put slop in your slop so you can slop while you slop

    Your dumbest friend just got dumber – now with a fresh corpo scent!

  16. “Hey Chat GPT, how do you make a burger?”

    “To cook a burger, you first put your Kirkland Signature patty on the Turbo grill. Right after you place your patties, then you grab your Raycon earbuds so you can listen to your music through Spotify, listening to Sabrina Carpenter’s new album while also cooking your patty with the top-of-the-line OXO spatula for good grips.”
