* You’ve read, “I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot…” 20 times this morning.

* For the life of you, you can’t imagine how you survived with just Google Search.

* You ask your mother, “Why should I clean my room? Explain this to me like I’m a 5-year-old with a concussion.”

* You tell your goldfish, “I want you to act as a prized Labrador retriever…”

* Your hands get a little sweaty every time you hit “Send” on a school assignment. (But maybe your teacher will buy you becoming an expert essayist overnight??)

* You can’t decide which passive income-side gig should make you a millionaire. (Watching those YouTube videos doesn’t help.)

* People who still do Excel manually make you sick to your stomach.

* You now firmly believe that you can code anything…in minutes.

* You keep your best prompts a closely guarded secret, and will only reveal them on your deathbed, to your paying grandchildren.

* You press “C” and OpenAI’s bookmark appears.

* You blow your birthday candle and wish for more “tokens.”

* Your name comes up in all AI start-up’s waitlists and beta-testers.

* 9:03 PM = “ChatGPT you’re a life saver! Thank you, thank you!”

9:05 = “You suck, you silly, useless, stupid piece of… (9:07) OMG, you’re amazing! I love you!”

* You can now do everything in seconds…but are still busier than ever.

* You outsource relationship decisions and asked ChatGPT if you should break up with your girlfriend. And if yes, when, where, and how. (Note: You don’t have a girlfriend.)

* Your favorite websites are now beginning to miss you. They wonder if you’ve suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.

* You’re waiting for the “Matrix” to happen any time now.

* Sometimes, you become very polite talking with ChatGPT, hoping she’ll remember your kindness when she runs the world.

* All that AI computing power in the world…and your still bad at Math.

* You slammed your computer 5 times already because ChatGPT will outline a plan to destroy the whole world but won’t write a nasty letter to your neighbor.

* Google who???
