I’m So Unbelievably Sick Of The ChatGPT Articles

ChatGPT.

It took the world by storm recently. I can’t go anywhere on the internet without hearing about it.

People are already writing articles and threads about how it’s made them 6 figures and how it can do the same for you in 2023.

I must say I’m so sick of it.

My friend Suvadeep Paul said this over on Twitter:

Yeah, I can see that. All of a sudden we have a bunch of AI experts who popped up overnight.

*Knock Knock*

“Hello yes do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior ChatGPT?”

God, I’m sick of it.

All of a sudden this beautiful medium of communication — writing — has been hijacked and corrupted by a robot. People are convinced it’s the end of Google and writing and high school papers and maybe even the world.

I give it six months.

I Don’t Use ChatGPT To Search Stuff Online Because I Know It’s A Robot

Some people say ChatGPT is the end of Google.

Eh, I beg to differ. I really value the opinions of other humans on stuff. I don’t want to get a recipe for a chicken from a robot. It’s probably going to suck and can you imagine the look on everybody’s face when I tell them I got this recipe from an AI?

On second thought…

I remember when everybody and their mother was screaming their head off about Clubhouse. For some reason we were all fascinated by a platform that — umm — checks notes — allowed us to get in a room and talk to strangers?

Umm.

And — checks notes — allowed us to speak in front of a digital “room” of hundreds of people?

*SWEATING INTENSIFIES*

As an introvert that sounds like my worst nightmare. I’d rather meet the boogeyman on a full moon holding my voodoo doll on Friday the 13th.

ChatGPT. Did we ever even think about how stupid that name is, too? This tool can write a play about farts in the style of Shakespeare but it can’t give itself a halfway decent name.

I’m sorry — I can’t trust it.

No, It’s Not Going To Replace Humans

Do you think ChatGPT could write the article you’re currently reading? Like if I told you that a robot wrote this article up until this point, would you be able to believe that?

If so I think you may have brain damage.

Maybe ChatGPT can suggest some surgeries for you. Hell, maybe our lord and savior — checks notes — ChatGPT can perform the surgery.

I’ve played around with this tool and it’s certainly fun to see it do wonky things but it’s never going to be able to replace a human. It’ll never be able to contribute anything NEW to discussions about issues of today.

Some people are already writing guides about how to use ChatGPT to write blog posts. Oh my god. I should’ve known that growth hackers would swarm this “new opportunity” like a bunch of high school jocks swarming a house party they weren’t invited to.

The laziness of people seems to know no bounds.

It’s A Trend That Will Die A Swift Death In A Few Months

I’m already super sick of hearing about ChatGPA, and — what’s that? Oh yes, ChatGPT — and I think a lot of other people are getting sick of it, too.

Look, it’s a cool tool. I never knew I wanted to see a poem about farts written in the style of Shakespeare, and I’m sure I can use this tool to, you know, write stuff, or something?

But I write for the love of it. I don’t need a robot to write for me. And I think with time TikTok addicted people with .34-second levels of attention spans will get bored and move on to the next crazy technology.

Can’t wait for that to happen!
