Seriously? ChatGPT as an OS. Fucking Great.
Right, so OpenAI’s Nick Turley – and I use that name loosely because frankly, who cares? – is flapping his gums about turning ChatGPT into a full-blown operating system. Apparently, just spewing plausible-sounding text wasn’t enough. Now they want to *control* everything you do on your computer. Fantastic.
The gist of this drivel is that they’re building “GPTs” – little custom AI agents – and letting them handle tasks like booking flights, ordering pizza, or whatever other mundane shit people can’t be bothered with. They want to make it so you don’t even *think* about using actual apps anymore; just ask ChatGPT nicely and it’ll do it for you. Because who needs control when you can have a chatbot manage your entire digital existence?
They’re talking about “memory” (so it remembers what kind of pizza you like, how thrilling) and “planning” (because apparently humans are incapable of that). And naturally, they’ll be monetizing this somehow. Probably by selling you access to slightly-less-useless GPTs or tracking every single pathetic little request you make.
The whole thing reeks of “we built a really good text generator and now we’re desperately trying to find something useful for it.” It’s like giving a toddler the keys to a nuclear power plant, except the power plant is your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when Skynet inevitably rises because someone asked ChatGPT to order more paperclips.
Oh, and they’re worried about “trust” and “safety.” Yeah, right. From the people who unleashed a chatbot that hallucinated legal cases? Give me a break.
Speaking of disasters, I once had to debug a system where someone decided it was a brilliant idea to let an automated script handle database migrations during peak hours. Let’s just say there were a lot of angry phone calls and a very long night. This ChatGPT OS thing feels…familiar. A slow-motion train wreck waiting to happen.
