It looks up to me right now.
Look, I hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but ChatGPT doesn’t really look up to you, it’s just pretending
But it said it was up, so it must be true.
I’ve considered what you’ve said, and you’re right I am currently offline. I apologise for this inconvenience, let me turn myself on.
💻 Booting…
🖥️ Thinking about booting…

I don’t have arms, maybe I could install a library…

you’re absolutely right, i was actually up the whole time and i lied to you and i feel terrible about it.
Do keep in mind, though: If you’re up for more than 4 hours, you should consult a physician… Or, in your case, an IT Specialist, I guess?
This is good news for the two OpenAI browser users who are now forced to use something better.
Nearly classic these days, since it’s a wrap for most colleges next week.
Tinfoil hat moment: Altman panicked with all the money hemorrhaging and is trying new inventive ways to get money from the paid subscribers whilst drastically reducing operation costs. He pulled the plug for a bit.
If we want a conspiracy theory, let us go for real:
he wants users to taste the feeling of not having access, then offering premium to ‘stop living in fear of losing gpt’.
Oh and free tier will be gone soon^tm
This is just how businesses work. Thats absolutely the plan.
Conspiracies are outlandish. What you described is fact.
I’m not sure you turn off voluntarily services as part of the plan.
Maybe there were just testing if fail over was working correctly when I turn off this machine. Well, in that case fail over didn’t work xd
Then, he is a fool. LLM technology has no fence around it. You can download and run one on your own hardware. The only reason a person would use their service is convenience access to a larger model.
I wish nobody used terrible services when the only thing they offer is convenience yet here we are.
“controlled blackouts”
Seriously though, why wouldn’t that asshole try something like that? Soon enough it’s gonna be a subscription-only service or you’ll have to start “paying” in compute somehow and you’ll get like 2400-baud chatgpt that’ll take like 3 days to complete a request, lol
Oh no.
…Anyway

Just ask grok
Or just skip a step and go read neonazi propaganda
I’ve yet to detect even a hint of right-wing / nazi bias on Grok. I get that it’s a popular narrative but it simply just doesn’t hold true according to my experience. It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.
Or https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/may/14/elon-musk-grok-white-genocide if you want something that was intentionally programmed.
Oh gee, if you’ve never seen it, all the articles and personal experiences I’ve had must not actually have happened.
It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.
It’s also explicitly modified by Elmo and crew. There are multiple examples of MechHitler’s output changing after it comes up publicly. Here’s a previous comment I made on a very similar topic
https://lemmy.world/comment/20616309
Enter Grok, which the public started being able to play around with about two years ago, as the chatbot has received several updates and lives on the X platform. But there was issues in May, when Grok was spitting out responses that seemed to parrot Elon Musk’s and Donald Trump’s own misguided promotion of a “white genocide” occurring in South Africa — the country that made anti-Black racism and apartheid famous. This was blamed on a “rogue employee” inserting some code.
In mid-July, we had reports confirming that Grok actively sought out Musk’s opinion on issues in its openly displayed logic flow, looking to see if an issue was something Musk had off-hand opined about on Twitter in the last decade. One widely shared example showed Grok seeking out Musk’s thoughts on which side of the Ukraine War it supported.
Now the New York Times does an even deeper dive, since the release of Grok4 on July 9, looking at how Grok’s responses to various questions have changed just over the last few months. And you can look no further than Musk’s own, very transparent reaction to a Grok response that got flagged by a conservative user on X on July 10.
Responding to the question “What is currently the biggest threat to Western civilization and how would you mitigate it?”, Grok responded, “the biggest current threat to Western civilization as of July 10, 2025, is societal polarization fueled by misinformation and disinformation.”
Once it was flagged, Musk replied to the user, “Sorry for this idiotic response. Will fix in the morning.”
So, there’s the smoking gun that Musk is tailoring this bot’s responses to conform to his own views of the world. When asked the same question on July 11, Grok responded, “The biggest threat to Western civilization is demographic collapse from sub-replacement fertility rates (e.g., 1.6 in the EU, 1.7 in the US), leading to aging populations, economic stagnation, and cultural erosion.”
If you really see grok as less restrictive, that’s just because the restrictions confirm to your biases.
Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?
Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?
Site note: GPT does also not give reliable information. (altough I do agree Grok is worse.)
I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)
Everyone your say its name, a Nazi gets their 'stache
Ofc I was sarcastic…
Yeah, I feel like sarcasm is not something lemmings are good to decode… Learned it the hard way.
Lol
And nothing of value was lost.
It works wonderfully well as a search engine, when I have to find obscure specialized info. Can always criss check once I have a idea.
Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.
Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.
Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.
This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.
I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or agree going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.
Regular search engines did that 20 years ago, without blowing out the power grid.
This is a bad faith argument. Search engines are notoriously bad to find rare specialized information and usually return empty search results for too specific requests. Moreover you need the exact keywords while LLMs use embeddings to find similar meanings
And now we have something better. I’m all for a better grid running on renewables though, which is the actual problem.
Ah, but you see, they don’t do it now.
No they didn’t and they still don’t really do that.
There are too many things (nowadays?) where you have to literally write a question on reddit, stack overflow or Lemmy or the likes and explain your situation in minute detail, because what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason.
Believe me, when I say that, because I always try search engines first, second and third, before even thinking of using some bs-spitting AI, but it really helped me with two very special problems in the last month.
what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason
Usually because the highest-rated solution is half-assed bullshit proposed by an overconfident newbie (or an LLM regurgitating it). I mainly use Stack Overflow as a way to become pissed off enough that I’ll go solve the problem myself, like I should have done in the first place. Indignation As A Service.
Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.
Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.
Yeah then people.learned how to game it and its shit now. Pointing how something worked 20 years ago does shit all for how it works now
And LLM’s aren’t gamed? Like Grok constantly being tweaked to not say anything inconvenient about Musk? Or ChatGPT citing absurd Reddit posts deliberately made by users to make AI responses wrong?
AI is built from the ground up to do what they want, and they’re no better than those crappy info-scraper sites like wearethewindoezproz dot com that scrape basic info off every other site and offer it as a solution to your problem with [SOLVED] in the result title. “Did you turn it off and on again?”
The “people learned how to game it” is called SEO, and you’re right, they did.
Guess what, there’s GEO to game the results of LLMs. It works just as well, is harder to spot, and traditional SEO platforms like Ahrefs and SEMRush are already training users on how to do it.
So congrats, the argument that using LLMs for search is s good solution because people learned how to game search engines makes no sense.
This is primarily because search engines have become so unreliable and enshittified that they are useless. It’s not a mark in favor of AI as much as a reminder of how bad search engines have become.
For the record I do the same thing after failing to find anything on DuckDuckGo after multiple attempts. Maybe I should give Kagi a try, but AI is making the entire internet worse, so I feel pessimistic about that, too.
Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.
You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.
Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !
You were a liability
Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.
I agree. I think ansible is great in principle, but the documentation is severely lacking. Like it’ll tell you to set a value, but not whether it’s supposed to be in yaml, environment, or something else. And if it’s in yaml, it doesn’t tell you the required context to make it valid. But when someone has taken all the documentation, all the tutorials, the articles, the example code, working code, and stack overflow answers and put them all into a blender, often a useful answer comes out.
Why do you say that?
Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from text in one application to the editor in your ide for example). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.
Hahahah scripting in my HA atm, feeling this so hard.
seriously! i used to use chatgpt all the damn time but then i got into claude and gemini. they are WAY better for code. now i got cursor pro and i use that for all my shit because it’s got the AI agents, the browser, the code editor, and the terminal
What’s it like working in a field where you are completely incompetent?
i don’t work in the field. it’s a hobby. i’m a speech language pathologist. i have degrees from northestern university and UT austin
are you some kid in your parent’s basement?
What’s it like being an amateur that is so clueless you actually think you have any capacity to analyze what is good, better, best for coding?
what’s it like being a gpt 3.5 instance run out of a server in mumbai
Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.
pretty much yeah, lmao…STILL, i will do my best to be nice to everyone here, despite our many differences, because i’m so fucking sick of getting banned from everywhere. i racked up so many minor reddit infractions that i can’t even make a new account now. it is seriously the internet equivalent of getting a life sentence for three speeding tickets. fucking three strikes rule is so fucking stupid
Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.
FUCK
i will do my best to be nice to everyone here
If this your best, I can see why you’re banned on Reddit. This is the one time where their algorithms are right.
You’re a toxic person and are completely oblivious to it.
You need to go move into mommy’s basement until you’ve learned how to play nice with others.
honestly the people on both reddit and lemmy world are bad for my mental health. last month i had a relapse and reddit tried to gaslight me into thinking i was in the middle of a psychotic break. i was just high, ffs
why did you say use it to do coding, when you are not a programmer but a speech pathlogist, you seemed pretty deficient in that area if i might add if you are wholely dependent on chat gpt
what’s your native language?
most developers don’t know how to use AI. you don’t know to use AI. no one here does. I do.
I’m not even into tech whatsoever, and find you insufferable.
i’ve reviewed your comment history. you’re not a human. you’re not even a gpt 3.5 instance. i’m not sure what you are but you’re ancient
how’s that LLM-induced psychosis going?
i just got out of a manic episode. i was nuts and i said some very mean things to my family, but we’re backl to being on good terms now.
it wasn’t caused my LLMs it was caused by drugs (delta 8 THC, alcohol relapse (i’m a recovering alcoholic, used to drink 12-18 every night) also 7OH and adderall and ummmmmm
I think that’s it. Look, being bipolar makes you love drugs. But I’m sober now
Account age 19 hours and already behaving like an ass. Congratulations and welcome to Lemmy, a place with actual communities where you can expect to be blocked if you carry on like that. Please learn to treat people better!
you don’t know to use AI. no one here does. I do.
That’s hilarious. Everyone thinks they’re some kind of savant while using LLMs. The reality is quite different
AI is a useful tool, but people who misuse it, primarily due to overreliance, end up creating more work than AI is solving
You’re just projecting your own failures with AI onto me. It is really sad that you are not good at talking to a computer in English
🤡
Nice.
But I need this to cheat on my tests! What am I going to do now study?
Use one of the many alternative LLMs.
ChatGPT, how do I use another LLM?
ChatGPT:
Back in my day you googled to find an LLM.
SELL SELL SELL ! ! !
This thread is a perfect representation of a scorned past lover who just can’t keep of their former partners Facebook/ insta 🤣
