The ordinary truth behind billions of prompts, the bubble talk that follows, and the human costs we are trying not to see
What we really use ChatGPT for
Smartphones and computer screens glow in millions of quiet rooms across the globe. Bedrooms with the curtains drawn. Office cubicles that smell of instant coffee, plastic regret, and dead dreams of stardom. Classrooms where the chairs wobble like loose teeth.
Ask a simple question, and the numbers spill out like coins on a counter. Hundreds of millions of people, billions of messages each day. All that chatter funneled into a single, patient mouth that never sleeps.
And what are we asking this tireless clerk of the ether? Not the metaphysical secrets of the cosmos, not usually anyway.
According to recently released data from OpenAI, we’re mostly, just asking it to fix our sentences. To tidy an email. To translate a text so we don’t sound like eejits when proving a social media stranger wrong.
We tell ourselves we’re peering into the future. In truth, we’re just about correcting commas at speed.
