A new meme from X is ragging on both AI users and certain writers by asking, “is ChatGPT down for anyone else?”. It started in late May as a way to joke about professionals doing essential and complex work using the program before morphing to drag writing that meme participants think is bad enough to come from a glorified chatbot.
This one’s for all the generative AI haters out there. Even when it attacks writers or gets a tad political, it’s always dissing ChatGPT.
Is ChatGPT down for anyone else?
The “is ChatGPT down for anyone else” meme is simple enough that anyone can participate. Just copy and paste the opening and introduce yourself, then hit post. For the past two weeks, and especially in early June, ChatGPT users piped up from all across the professional spectrum.
From DJs to professors to brain surgeons to SpaceX engineers, the meme imagines all kinds using AI for work. The trend has its roots in concerns that people who hold your education, health, or life in your hands could start using these programs in an attempt to make their labor easier when the tech has been known to be wrong so often, and may be getting worse.
Going into June, it became more common for people to use the meme to criticize the writing in specific shows, films, video games, and political speeches or policy. At this point, you can judge how well the current season of Yellowjackets is faring among fans by how many “is ChatGPT down for anyone else” meme posts name it.
