ChatGPT is down, but we don t panic. You're not alone. We are all over-reliant on this tool, and it's ruining our ability to think and remember things we used to do on our own.

00:00:00.000 So to underline the point of dependency and brain rot, let's play a couple of minutes of a video I
00:00:05.440 saw that is from a channel that's covering things like this all the time, how AI is being used,
00:00:10.620 who's using it, what are the motivations, but here's just how people have already become totally
00:00:16.080 dependent on it. Look at this. My AI is actually on my best friends list. If you're anything like
00:00:21.380 me, you use ChatGPT for everything. ChatGPT is my counselor, my therapist, my best friend. It
00:00:27.420 knows all my secrets. Story time on how I almost got kicked out of the University of Michigan my
00:00:31.780 freshman year for using ChatGPT. Okay, so ChatGPT is down, but we do not panic. You're literally one
00:00:38.240 AI agent away from making 10k a month. The most gut-wrenching feeling in the world is when the
00:00:42.740 ChatGPT chat that you've been using for about six months starts referencing things that don't exist.
00:00:47.880 It must be what it feels like to notice for the first time that a loved one has dementia or
00:00:51.640 something. Everyone's talking about how AI is ruining YouTube, but I believe AI is ruining
00:00:56.520 something much worse, our own ability to think. ChatGPT has went down several times this year,
00:01:02.160 and every time it goes down, it truly exposes people who are over-reliant on the AI. People are
00:01:07.500 genuinely losing their minds because they now can't get any of their work done, they can't cheat on
00:01:12.220 their assignment, and apparently they can't even bake a cake. ChatGPT is down, and I don't know about
00:01:18.580 anyone else, but I have come to the conclusion that I can't use my own brain anymore because, for
00:01:22.440 example, right now I want to bake a cake, and normally I ask ChatGPT, how do you make a carrot
00:01:26.020 cake? I can't simply Google something anymore, like I need a step-by-step breakdown from my best
00:01:31.360 friend who is also a robot, and now it's like he's passed away. So that's me for the day, I'll go back
00:01:38.100 to bed. If we as a society are already this dependent on ChatGPT and can't be bothered to
00:01:43.660 Google something the moment the servers go down, we as a society are baked, and not in the fun way.
00:01:49.920 Cookbooks, Google, I think even the flower bag has a recipe on it, or just call your grandmother,
00:01:55.960 I'm sure she has a recipe, and she would love to hear from you. And of course, every time ChatGPT
00:02:00.620 goes down, everybody goes to Reddit to let everybody else know what they already know is that the
00:02:05.220 servers are down. The caption says, when ChatGPT tells you Australians don't need a visa to enter Chile,
00:02:10.500 but it's wrong and too late now.
00:02:18.920 People are now...
00:02:19.940 All right, so they're using this for everything, and that is the truth. Now, Grok, is this true?
00:02:25.020 OpenAI, tell me about XYZ. Do you see how easy this is to manipulate people now?
00:02:29.400 They're too lazy to just research and enter things in a browser and find sources on their own.
00:02:34.900 See? They just...
00:02:36.520 Just have it come up for me real quick. I can't even Google... I can't even be bothered Googling
00:02:40.860 the recipe when it comes up like...
00:02:43.100 I think even Googling is detrimental, because it stops you from actually trying to...
00:02:48.060 Well, this is the next level. They're not even going to do that.
00:02:50.600 Granted, if there's something that you do not know at all, yes, of course. But I'm saying like,
00:02:54.760 oh, what was that song again, or that guy, or that movie, or that... No one is even attempting
00:03:02.260 to use their memory anymore at all. And of course...
00:03:04.860 We try to remember before we look it up.
00:03:07.200 That's what I'm saying. Actively, I'm like...
00:03:08.680 Gotta try.
00:03:09.460 That's my tagline. Do not Google it. Try to access it, because otherwise those pathways will not be used.
00:03:15.380 Not good for your memory and brain.
00:03:17.060 No, it's horrible. But I'm just saying, you might have thought that this was something
00:03:21.260 like five years down the line, or something like that. But I'm saying as this tool,
00:03:24.580 it's already happening right now. The dependency, and it as an omnipotent,
00:03:29.240 going back to the Jesus story, and how the pastors use this in sermons and stuff,
00:03:33.860 eventually this will be their God. It will be their parent. It will be their overlord,
00:03:37.540 and it will tell them whatever is true, and they will believe it, because they think it's objective,
00:03:41.380 and they have no understanding of who's behind it.
00:03:42.800 Even though it's still pulling from, yeah, internet sources, which sources, right?
00:03:46.900 Well, exactly, right. And I mean, this is a little bit maybe misapplied,
00:03:50.300 but it's like, still, you know, I've always brought this in. Like, who are the people
00:03:53.780 programming this kind of thing, right? Where do they stand on things, and what's their opinion,
00:04:00.140 and are they upholding, you know, subjective things? And of course they are. They will always
00:04:04.860 do that, right? So in this Reuters piece, he was interviewed, and Sam Altman said,
00:04:08.700 I am Jewish. I believe that anti-Semitism is a significant and growing problem in the world,
00:04:13.020 and I see a lot of people in our industry sticking up for me, which I deeply appreciate.
00:04:16.900 I see much less of that for Muslims. So he's doing the liberal Zionism, you know, 0.92
00:04:21.540 Angelo's like, oh, my poor Muslims kind of thing. But I'm saying, you can't just think that OpenAI
00:04:26.220 somehow is like an American company, and they stand up for American values, and it's OpenAI
00:04:30.240 versus whatever China is doing or something. That doesn't even exist. You have to bring every piece 0.98
00:04:34.380 of motivation of the people behind it into the equation. None of these experts have any clue
00:04:39.940 what's happening with AI. Yes.
