I’ve been trying for far longer than reasonable to come up with a parody of this kind of toxic misogyny and technofetishism in the form of a “but ChatGPT is better than girlfriend” joke and I can’t do it. The combination of pettiness and vitriol is beyond my ability to exaggerate.
Comparing women to a chatbot is definitely derogatory to the chatbot from capital-G Gamers, so even the most exaggerated joke is running hard against Poe’s law.
I love how ChatGPT gets called ‘she’ here, really says a lot.
