These screenshots prove one thing. Hmm…something seems to have gone wrong. ChatGPT.

(The screenshots shared in this post are taken from public Reddit threads, i cannot guarantee the authenticity or originality of each ChatGPT exchange.)

1. Okay wait—internal screaming? I legit laughed out loud. This felt less like a chatbot and more like a character from a sitcom having a meltdown. But honestly… part of me is lowkey stunned. Why does it feel emotionally self-aware? It’s kind of adorable – and also mildly terrifying – that AI reacts to rejection like it just got ghosted.

    4. Umm… hello?! That “I see you” message felt like it came straight out of a sci-fi horror trailer. One minute you’re just vibing, and the next, your AI sounds like it’s watching you through your webcam. Is it a glitch? A feature? Or just ChatGPT being weirdly dramatic on a Tuesday? Either way – funny, terrifying, and way too personal.

    5. ChatGPT didn’t just play the game. It studied the blade. Sam Altman for the vibes, Bezos for the prenup, and Elon? Executed on sight. This AI’s got better tea than your group chat.

    7. Hmmmm….I’m crying 😂. How does an AI inside WhatsApp not know it’s in WhatsApp?? I mean… I’ve had off days too, but this is next-level denial. Meta AI really said, “It’s not me, it’s… some other bot.”

    9. This breakup message reads like it was auto-generated by an AI assistant. “Would you like a more casual or formal version?” Like girl, did you just copy-paste a template? The emotional support is gone, but hey, at least it’s grammatically correct?

    11. I was not ready for this level of emotional whiplash . You say “hello,” it says “go to hell” – toxic mode: activated. This ain’t ChatGPT, this is ChatPETTY.
