ChatGPT: Don’t Ask Me, I Didn’t *Make* This Shit

Right, so you need me to explain ChatGPT? Seriously? Fine. It’s an OpenAI chatbot, basically a glorified text predictor that somehow convinced everyone it’s sentient. They keep releasing newer versions – GPT-4o is the current flavor of the month, and now they’ve got GPT-5 looming, promising even *more* realistic hallucinations. It does everything from writing your goddamn emails to coding (badly) to pretending to be a helpful assistant. It’s multi-modal now too, meaning it can take images as input – so it can analyze your cat pictures and tell you how fluffy they are, groundbreaking stuff.

The article whines on about its capabilities: custom GPTs (because apparently regular ChatGPT wasn’t enough of a time sink), voice conversations, and integration with all sorts of crap. It’s available through a subscription called ChatGPT Plus, or you can use the free version which is slower and dumber. They’re pushing it into Teams for business users because *of course* they are – gotta monetize this thing somehow.

Oh, and there’s a whole section about its limitations. Surprise! It makes stuff up (hallucinates), can be biased, and isn’t always accurate. Like anyone needed to be told that. They’re trying to fix it with “safety features” but let’s be real, it’s still an AI – expecting perfection is just… pathetic.

Basically, it’s a fancy autocomplete on steroids. Don’t trust it with anything important. And don’t come crying to me when it writes you a terrible poem or suggests something illegal. I warned you.

  Look, I once had to debug a script written by an intern who used ChatGPT to “help.” It generated 300 lines of perfectly formatted, utterly useless code. Three *hundred* lines. It took me three days and enough caffeine to kill a small horse to fix it. So yeah, take everything this thing says with a mountain of salt.
