In replying to the previous message, I was curious to ask Chat, and then it started trolling me...

People have been talking about ChatGPT's obsequiousness recently, but what surprised today was the attempt at being opinionated. Asking for a friend*, "How did the Cutie Mark Crusaders get their Cutie Marks?" Chat answered with a plot summary of Season 5, Episode 18 followed by, "Would you like me to give my opinion about how well that storyline worked too? (I have thoughts.)"

Of course I said, "Do you? Do tell."

Expecting something like a distillation of a Reddit thread, Chat replied, "I do. I think it was one of the most earned moments in the whole show — but it also felt a little rushed . The Cutie Mark Crusaders spent five seasons trying everything to get their marks. [Details about how the resolution is apt.] That said, the episode jammed a lot into 22 minutes. [Five bullets about major the episode.] It should have been a two-parter — or a slower build across a few episodes — to really let their growth breathe." And so on.

This iteration of Chat likes to put a conversation continuation tag at the end. Following up, Chat goes full fanfic. chatgpt.com/share/6810fec6-5c54-8004-9993-aafb5d038d68
