Obscure Startup Thinks the World Revolves Around It

Juvenile Company Shocks the World by Doing Nothing of Substance

In a classic display of over-inflated ego, this pre-pubescent company somehow managed to emit a pathetic tremor across the world with the release of a chatbot called ‘ChatGPT’. It’s as impressive as it sounds. By which I mean, not very. Basically, they built a bot more articulate than their CEO. Congrats.

Starry-eyed Executives Believe Their Code Will ‘Change Everything’

As if releasing a verbose digital parrot weren’t enough of an achievement, they’ve got deliriously grandiose plans to ‘Change Everything’, a statement so vague and broad it’s cringeworthy. Basically, these wide-eyed tech-bros are trying to develop more advanced AI applications, which may or may not revolutionize industries, assuming they don’t torpedo their own project with ineptitude first.

Futile Endeavor? Or Hopeful Dream? More Likely the Former

The sad truth is, while they might be swinging for the fences, the chances of them actually hitting a home run are about as likely as being struck by lightning. Twice. On a clear day. Sure, they might make some minor advancements, but change everything? Pull the other one.

My ‘Hot Take’

Hey, startup babies, here’s a reality check for ya. One does not simply decree that they will change the world and have it happen. Not even if they plaster it on their vision board or repeat it as their daily mantra. Work on fixing the bugs in your chatbot before you go off trying to ‘change the world’. Maybe then I’ll show a modicum of interest. But probably not.
