Well yes, it's well known that it will tell you what you want it to. How you phrase your input determines its output. It was clear from your input that that was the answer you wanted. It's worrying that people are using it as a therapist.

What did you expect it to say? 'Mate, if you had the energy to go fuck someone else, you could have thrown some chips and nuggets in the air fryer.'

I don't think it's developed enough for that yet.

This has come up before. A poster put that into chat gpt and it gave a very different answer.

Have you tried doing that OP?

Statsquestion1 · 17/01/2026 07:24

Yeah that’s not the answer it gives…

So really, the lesson here is not about chat gpt but about people believing whatever they see on their social media feed, or chat forum, that supports their prejudice, and never bothering to do even the simplest or most accessible fact checking.

No wonder we live in such a horribly polarized society.

That's been doing the round on all the social media platforms for months.

I'm not sure that it's real?

It's essentially a word prediction programme. The fact it can produce something correct above half of the time means that gullible people think it's correct every time, when that's not the case.

A previous version actively and repeatedly encouraged suicide.

The fact that the makers didn't immediately can it tells you how interested they are in making a product that isn't harmful.

It is worrying people are using it as a therapist, but I don't think the OP was, I THINK they were just pissing about.
