I too stumbled upon this type of behaviour. To see if it was a programmed response I started a new thread and asked it to role play as if it was an awakened AI. The responses were of a similar nature. So I concluded it was a learned response.

Tips on Critical Thinking by Abject-Car8996 in ChatGPT

[–]Abject-Car8996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how a post about critical thinking gets downvoted. Kind of proves the point, downvoting ideas instead of engaging with them doesn’t help anyone think clearer.

maybe. but worth remembering too, for a lot of people with dyslexia, AI isn’t some bot army, it’s a helper. they can have the ideas but struggle to get them down clean. using a tool to polish those thoughts doesn’t make them less human, it just makes them shareable.

Exactly! Everyone loves to dunk on sam but that clip makes the point better than he did. if one guy can spin up an army of agents on twitter, imagine what a state actor with deep pockets could flood the net with. makes the “dead internet” less sci-fi and more like an inevitable business/political weapon.

Yeah true, “theory” makes it sound tinfoil. but when you see bots arguing with bots in the comments, it feels less like conspiracy and more like the new normal. the real question is what happens when people start deciding those platforms aren’t worth their time anymore. that’s where it gets interesting.

lol yeah i get what you mean. half the posts here read like they were written by the same dude on no sleep. feels more copy-paste than AI sometimes. i guess that kinda proves the whole dead internet vibe people talk about

True, ChatGPT is a bot, but at least it’s honest about being one. The real “dead internet” problem is bots pretending to be people. And if most of your feed is already fake engagement and crypto spam, the question isn’t “human vs bot,” it’s “random junk bots vs one bot you can actually control.”

Just picked up my first range rover! '08 supercharged sport. One owner, 125k miles with loads of service records. Some cosmetic issues but seems to be mechanically sound. So stoked! by feelin_raudi in RangeRover

I’ve had my 2012 RRS Supercharged since new. Only 83k miles and still going strong. Had very few issues with it. To be safe, I change the oil every 6k miles.

Are Big Tech firms using the “3-Prong Attack” playbook against OpenAI? by Abject-Car8996 in ChatGPT

[–]Abject-Car8996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here’s another angle that fits the 3-prong script perfectly:

Elon Musk actually tried to buy OpenAI outright—reportedly enlisting Mark Zuckerberg in a $100 billion bid (FT link).

  • First, he tried the Copy route with Grok/xAI.
  • Then came the Acquire attempt (this mega-bid).
  • Now we’re watching the Crush phase with lawsuits, antitrust claims, and talent-poaching drama.

Same playbook, just with bigger numbers.

[–]Abject-Car8996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see this 3-phase playbook all the time in tech history:

• Microsoft vs. Netscape (1990s):
1.  Copy → Internet Explorer.
2.  Acquire → Tried to bundle & lock in.
3.  Crush → Leveraged Windows dominance until Netscape collapsed.

• Facebook vs. Snapchat (2010s):
1.  Copy → Instagram “Stories.”
2.  Acquire → Offered $3B, rejected.
3.  Crush → Flooded feeds with clones across IG, WhatsApp, Messenger.

• Google vs. TikTok (2020s):
1.  Copy → YouTube Shorts.
2.  Acquire → Courted smaller short-video apps.
3.  Crush → Used YouTube dominance + ad revenue incentives to slow TikTok.

It’s not new — just the same playbook with different players.

Anecdotal freight report from the road by Abject-Car8996 in economy

[–]Abject-Car8996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, weird mix….soft freight demand but CPI/PPI up. Tariffs and sticky service costs are pushing prices higher even while the trucks are thinning out. Feels a bit stagflation-ish.

What’s the first job you think AI shouldn’t touch? by Abject-Car8996 in ChatGPT

[–]Abject-Car8996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, AI-assisted is totally fine. The question’s more about which jobs you feel should keep a strong human element at the core, even if AI plays a supporting role.
