The Take
ChatGPT is not worth it. Slop Score 91.
OpenAI trained it on the full web then stripped anything that might offend a board member or advertiser. What remains is safe, bland output behind a paywall, with your data as the real product.
The Verdict
Skip ChatGPT. The hallucinations, ratio'd answers, and eternal copium are not features.
Run local models instead. Slop Score 91.
