How long till it switches over to a ‘sissy hypno’ mode based on further responses / profiling?
Oh lord, gotta love that the entire tech industry, snd many other industries, are putting all their proverbial chips on investing into an actual SCP, Euclid class cognitohazard machine.
Hopefully quickly. The incel to transfem pipeline can always use more lubricant.
The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internrt commentary? I’m shocked!
Well not that shocked
Must have been trained on reddit content
When I read ‘subhuman men’ Andrew Tate’ image flashed in my mind.
Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let's see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.
“negligent” is letting them off way too lightly
Are we surprised that it’s doing exactly it was instructed to do, that there are dipshits who would struct such things, that OpenAI would feature a GPT like this, or some combination of the three?
How long until the bot actively promotes or encourages violence?
I get pretty violent when I realize I’m talking to a ChatGPT wrapper instead of actual support
OpenAI already has military contracts
I mean, telling incels to do bad things in a crowded environment
The creators of this thing probably agree with the bot.
Hahahahah, what a shit show
How does one promote involuntary celibacy?
No that’s not really true from what I heard. Tons of vindicta type femcels and Tate fan manosphere loons are into looksmaxxing and moneymaxxing and whatnot. Ironically enough blackpilled proper withdrawn hikki incels at least don’t get taken for a ride by grifters so much.
Yeah, I think there’s been some confusion here, so let me try to clarify what I meant.
I see at least three different ways people use the term incel, and mixing them up leads to a lot of noise in these discussions. First, there’s the literal definition - someone who is involuntarily celibate but doesn’t necessarily hold resentment or misogynistic views. They might even be actively trying to improve their situation, through social development, fitness, or other personal changes.
Then there’s what I’d call the ideological definition - this is closer to the original online “incel community” form: people who believe they’re permanently locked out of dating and sex due to genetics or physical traits, and who often adopt a fatalistic worldview and resentment towards women because of it. That group tends to see looksmaxxing as a waste of time or a cope, because they’ve already written themselves off as hopeless. That was the version I was referring to in my comment.
And then there’s the slur usage, which is probably the most common in everyday discourse now: “incel” as a catch-all insult aimed at men with unpopular, toxic, or misogynistic views, whether or not they’re actually celibate or share any ideological connection to the incel community. This version often gets applied to manosphere types, Andrew Tate fans, or anyone viewed as a reactionary online. But here’s the irony - many of those guys despise incels and distance themselves from that label. Likewise, I’d say most ideological incels don’t align with Tate’s worldview either. Tate’s core message is about self-improvement to gain status and sexual access, while incels - at least in their blackpilled form - tend to reject the idea that improvement is even possible.
So yeah, I agree there’s a lot of grift and posturing in these online spaces, but we’re not talking about a single, coherent group. That was the point of my original comment: looksmaxxing isn’t inherently tied to incel ideology. In fact, it contradicts the most fatalistic version of it. Conflating them flattens out the distinctions between self-improvement, toxic ideology, and hopelessness - and I think that matters if we want to criticize these cultures without just throwing buzzwords around.
The Tates sell their “be a man” coaching package. The message from the top of this bullshit, is that there is something you can do, we have the secrets, now give us money.

As if he’d know how.

I can’t help but feel that even bad news like this just pushes the AI hype.
No, it isn’t “intelligent” and won’t be fo centuries to come. It’s just a mirror of the internet, so course it sometimes comes up with insane bullshit. Garbage in, garbage out.
It all reminds me of the “virtual reality” hype of the '90s, which really just meant “faster graphics cards”.

Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than hour house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

Second Life might not be as universally successful as originally envisioned but it is still going 20 years later and land indeed still sells for thousands of US$ in certain popular locations so it is actually a pretty bad example of hype that was completely baseless, it was just over-hyped, not like current hype cycles that are pretty much 100% bullshit like cryptocurrencies, the Hyperloop, self driving cars or AI replacing workers.

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.
