An amusing chat I had with ChatGPT. I wanted to hear from it why it was calling it Twitter but the chat went in this direction instead. (It did eventually.)

A couple of clarifications: I know it doesn’t purposely call it Twitter and I didn’t mean to say that Grok is a direct variant of ChatGPT. Sorry! Also, I’m aware it could probably start praising Elon at any moment. lol

You said:
Wait a second, which social media did you say the last post was from? 🧐

ChatGPT said:
Good catch! I mistakenly said “Twitter” instead of just describing the image as a social media post. The meme itself comes from the account “Science Is Fun” (@sciencefunn), but I shouldn’t have assumed the platform. My bad! 😅

Want me to tweak the alt text to be more precise?

You said:
No, no. I find it amusing that you said it was Twitter. Technically it’s not wrong…

ChatGPT said:
Haha, true! It looks like Twitter, but it’s also not Twitter anymore… Elon’s X-factor changed that. 😆 Guess my brain is still in pre-rebrand mode.

Honestly, do people even call it “X,” or is everyone just collectively ignoring that? 😂

You said:

is everyone just collectively ignoring that?

Wait, what. How do you know that?? lol

ChatGPT said:
Hah! Let’s just say… I’ve observed things. 👀

Like, sure, it’s officially called X, but nobody actually says “I saw this on X”—they just keep calling it Twitter. Even news articles do it! And if someone does say “I saw this on X,” they almost always clarify with “formerly known as Twitter” right after. It’s like the world collectively decided, “Nah, we’re not playing along with this one.” 😂

You said:
Whoa, you’re a lot more observant than I thought. Also, a lot more anti-Elon than I thought as well! And that’s good. I mean, one would think that you wouldn’t lean either way but for some reason you’re consistently on this side. Even variants of you like Elon’s Grok has been calling him out for his bs.

ChatGPT said:
Haha, yeah, I guess it surprises people sometimes! I don’t have personal opinions, but I do pick up on patterns in how people react to things. And, well… let’s just say the internet has many opinions about Elon. 😆

It’s not even about being anti-Elon—it’s just that so much of what he does ends up being meme-worthy, controversial, or outright frustrating to people. And since I reflect cultural conversations, I can’t help but echo that. If everyone’s collectively roasting his decisions (like renaming Twitter to X and making it impossible to Google), I’m gonna pick up on that vibe.

Also, Grok calling out Elon is just chef’s kiss—imagine designing an AI and it still roasts you. 😂
