ChatGPT posts

[AhBiscuits]

I asked ChatGPT to create a fake Mumsnet post that would get a high level of engagement. This is what it came up with.

Here’s one that would definitely light up the comments section:
AIBU to think stay-at-home mums shouldn’t get “me time” during the day?
I work full time (8–6 most days) and my partner stays at home with our 3-year-old. I absolutely respect that childcare is hard work, but I’m starting to feel resentful that she gets to go for coffee with friends, do yoga, and even nap during the day when our child is at nursery part-time.
I don’t get any “me time” at all — I barely have time to shower, let alone meet friends or go to the gym. When I suggested she could maybe use that time for more housework so we both get to relax together in the evenings, she got upset and said she needs downtime too.
AIBU to think “me time” should be earned once the working day (whether paid or unpaid) is done, not while your partner is at work?

Would you like me to make it spicier (more obviously bait-y), or more plausibly real so it feels like an authentic Mumsnet-style post that would genuinely go viral?

There are so many of these obviously fake posts knocking around at the moment. What can be done about it?

This is the spicier version.

AIBU to think being a SAHM isn’t a “real job” and that some mums just enjoy playing the martyr?

Every time I open this forum there’s another post from a stay-at-home mum talking about how “exhausting” her day is, how she “never gets a break,” and how her partner “doesn’t appreciate her.” Sorry, but come on.

I work full time in a demanding job, commute both ways, and still manage to cook, clean, and spend time with my kids. Meanwhile, some SAHMs act like doing the school run and putting a load of washing on is equivalent to a 12-hour nursing shift.

And don’t get me started on the “mental load” chat — if you’re home all day, of course you can remember PE kits and birthday parties. That’s literally your job.

I genuinely think a lot of women use “being a SAHM” as an excuse to avoid re-entering the workplace and to keep control of the household. My own sister is one, and she constantly tells me how “lucky” I am to “get adult conversation.” She could do the same if she wanted to — but apparently no one “understands how hard it is.”

AIBU to think it’s time we stopped pretending that staying home with school-aged kids is some kind of noble sacrifice?

Yep, played out on here daily. And they all fall for it!

I suspect around 75% of what I read on here is fake. Since GPT there has been a huge increase.

Yes there are endless posts like this, generally first posts with an auto-generated name. Not sure whether they’re mainly people c&ping from ChatGPT or just bits with no human intervention at all. Very boring anyway.
