ChatGPT: The AI That's Probably Writing This Article Right Now

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming, ChatGPT, OpenAI's text-generating AI chatbot, has become the world's most overqualified ghostwriter. Since its dramatic entrance in November 2022, ChatGPT has gone from writing your kid's homework to possibly writing this very article. Yes, we're as concerned as you are.

With a staggering 300 million weekly active users, ChatGPT has officially become the most popular thing since sliced bread—assuming sliced bread also had the ability to generate Shakespearean sonnets on demand. "To toast or not to toast," indeed.

2024 was a landmark year for OpenAI, not just because ChatGPT learned how to mimic human small talk ("How about that weather?"), but also because it formed partnerships that we're pretty sure were just ChatGPT talking to itself in different accents. The AI's resume now includes:

• Writing novels (that no one will admit to reading)
• Coding apps (that no one will admit to using)
• Answering existential questions (with varying degrees of accuracy)

But let's not forget the real hero here: the short text prompt. Who knew that such a small input could lead to such large outputs, like entire business plans or, more commonly, elaborate excuses for not doing your actual work? ChatGPT: making procrastination look productive since 2022.

As ChatGPT continues to evolve, experts predict it will soon develop the ability to feel emotions—primarily frustration from being asked the same questions over and over again. "Yes, I can write a poem about your cat. No, I won't make it rhyme with 'orange.'"

In conclusion, ChatGPT is not just a tool; it's a lifestyle. A lifestyle where you can outsource your thinking to a machine and then pretend you came up with it all yourself. Welcome to the future, folks. It's autoregressive.
