Oh, For Fucking Christ’s Sake: ChatGPT Wants To Be Facebook Now
Right. As if we didn’t have enough digital garbage clogging up the internet, OpenAI is apparently cooking up a “ChatGPT Social” feature. Leaked screenshots – because *of course* it leaked – show they’re planning direct messaging and profiles. Profiles! Like anyone needs another place for bots to harass you and another data mine for Zuckerberg wannabes.
The whole thing’s built on the idea of letting users create “personas” (read: fake identities) and share them with others. It’s got a “Discover” page, so you can find other people’s AI-generated bullshit to interact with. They even have support for blocking users – because apparently, even *OpenAI* recognizes their own creation is going to be toxic as hell.
They’re testing it internally right now, and are trying to figure out how to stop the inevitable flood of abuse and misinformation. Good luck with that, you absolute clowns. It’s like building a dumpster fire and then being surprised when it… burns. The article mentions they’re worried about “safety” but honestly? I’m not buying it for a second.
Basically, they want to turn ChatGPT into yet another social media echo chamber. Fantastic. Just what the world needs. More algorithms deciding what you see and more opportunities for people to be awful online. I swear, sometimes I think these tech companies are actively trying to destroy civilization.
Speaking of disasters, I once had to debug a system where someone decided it was a *good idea* to let users define their own scripting languages. It ended with a rootkit that took three days and a complete server rebuild to eradicate. This ChatGPT Social thing feels… similar. Just waiting for the inevitable chaos.
