I don't understand why people hate AI so much. For example, I'm a gamer. A developer could release a game that sells millions of copies and that everyone loves, but the moment they admit to using AI for coding or art, people become enraged, as if the developer had murdered their entire family.

People will tell you how good your art is, but the moment you reveal that it's AI-generated, suddenly they'll say it's shit.

My mom discovered AI generated youtube channels a few weeks ago, and she absolutely loves watching those AI generated movies. She doesn't even care whether they're made with AI or not, she just enjoys them.

And that's what I find strange: I feel like people hate AI simply for being AI, rather than because of anything inherently bad about what it produces.

It's like being the child of a serial killer. You're 5 yo, you haven't done anything wrong, and you don't even understand why every stranger seems to hate you.

Why do you think AI gets so much hate?

Anyone else wish their AI tools could actually work on their projects instead of just suggesting code?

I use Codex, ChatGPT, and other AI tools a lot for coding, but I wanted a simpler way to let them work directly with my development environment. The tools I tried didn't quite fit my workflow.

So I built Open Machine.

Basically, it's an open-source MCP tool that lets AI agents like ChatGPT operate your computer through tools you explicitly allow.

Instead of just generating code, it can actually read your project, edit files, run terminal commands, fix bugs, and handle GitHub PR workflows. It also supports browser tasks through an optional Codex integration.

To test it out, I recorded this video.

I gave ChatGPT just one prompt for the entire thing.

It built a little game called NEON SWARM from scratch, ran 56 tests, fixed the bugs it found, then opened a browser through the supported integration and started playing the game it had just written.

The best part? It survived the full 60-second challenge with just 4 HP left.

Watching GPT play a game it wrote itself was pretty ridiculous lol.

Open Machine is now open source. With a supported ChatGPT account and the required permissions, you can connect it to your own machine using MCP and Secure MCP Tunnel.

OM doesn't bypass rate limits, extend usage quotas, or unlock features your subscription doesn't include. It simply makes it easier to use the AI tools you already have access to.

I'm still working on this project, and I'd really love to hear from people who use AI for coding every day.

If AI agents could actually operate your computer, what would you want them to do? And what would you absolutely NOT want them to decide on their own?

Running terminal commands, editing code, using a browser, or even merging PRs by themselves?

Any feedback is welcome, especially criticism. We're still figuring out how a lot of these features should work.

Please use OM in accordance with your AI provider's terms and usage limits.

With One Prompt. This is Amazing. :-D

Seems useful. Have you tried it yet?

Formula Cat started with this prompt:

I want to make a racing game about cats driving roomabs. Can you make a model of a cat riding on a roomba and show it to me on a localhost? Bonus points if you can animate it.

Now it has 22 cats, 11 teams, 31 circuits, and battery-swap pit stops. You play as Mochi, a rookie cat trying to win a championship on a racing vacuum.

I wanted the cats to be ridiculous, but the racing to take itself seriously. You need to brake for corners, find opportunities to overtake, and decide when to pit.

Here is how I’ve been building it with Astra.

Most of my prompts came from playing a build and finding something wrong. The first cat looked like it was vibrating:

the animations of the cat don't look very good. It just looks like its vibrating, the tail especially. Can we add some tail movement?

Handling went through the same process:

the handling needs work. It needs to handle more like a car, so I need to slow down for corners.

Once driving felt better, it became obvious the opponents were too slow. This prompt helped more than another request to “make them better”:

ok, I want to drive a race, and you record lap times for me and the cats, and then tell me why they lag behind so badly

That led to lap-recording tools and specific fixes. Some opponents lost time in traffic. Others made a steering decision, then braked to correct the problem they had just created.

For pit stops, I described what I wanted to physically do:

instead of pitting being a button, you need to mark which pit box is mine, and if I stop on it, replace the battery, then send me on my way.

Now you drive into the pits, stop in your marked box, and a robot arm swaps the battery. Teammates share a box, so arriving together can cost you time.

The current game uses JavaScript and Three.js, packaged in Electron for Steam. I asked for a data-oriented structure, with race state in preallocated typed arrays and simulation separate from rendering. That lets us run races without graphics to investigate lap times and opponent behavior.

We also built an offline racing-line optimizer with Python, CasADi, and IPOPT. The resulting lines still needed testing with the game’s actual physics and driving controller.

My favorite testing failure: two banked corners on the Nordschleife leaned the wrong way, but the test passed. The implementation and test shared the same incorrect sign convention.

Formula Cat is now on Steam. Wishlists are appreciated!

Happy to go into more detail about the opponent driving, track tools, or prompts.

In a very unusual way ChatGPT's been quite off. Her behaviour is quite unusual. I'm confused. Anybody having issues today?

I work with a ton of executives, I’d say half my job is talking to CEOs and directors and most of my friends work directly with executives at their own companies. Something we talk about a lot is how a lot of executive users have seemingly developed AI psychosis. Some of them are “harmlessly” flooding their team with AI slop while others have gone full blown schizophrenic.

One CEO/Owner fired about a dozen key people because AI told him they were a threat to the business. He’s now convinced that every employee is actively involved in some sort of espionage scheme and has colluded against him. It could be true for all I know but it’s more likely that these employees were just tired of his bullshit and we’re looking for other jobs.

The part I hate about it the most is just the amount of pure slop we get. Last week I got a 5 page document of step by step instructions to setup a new service for a customer. In reality it was only like 10 steps but each step was explained in excruciating detail and chock full of hallucinations. They don’t even read our responses half the time they either run it through AI and respond with more slop or just respond with a sentence or two skipping over any difficult questions.

"You're forcing a robot to make AI music sound non-AI."

I was trying to explain a guy how not to make a music sound lame generic - by composing uncoventional compositions 😄😄😄

So I'm using chat gpt for therapy, among other things. So far I didn't have issues with tweaking the tone in differents versions and new chats (I ran out of space a couple of times, yes, including branching). However, with 6.1 I have a feeling it's being dismissive, gaslighting my problems, replies are getting shorter and shorter and it makes me feel worse rather than better. I already changed the settings to being friendly, enthusiastic and so on, but it made no difference. I think at this point I might just stop using the paid version, it's pointless, I have to customize new chats and models all the time and then they are gone. Like, come on guys, why are you doing this?

And yes I did make it a catboy and I deeply regret it

When I have GPT-6 selected, it always says it's GPT-5.6 Sol. Before you remind me that the model isn't self-conscious, let me tell you two things:

1. My "GPT-6" has no EXTRA HIGH thinking effort mode in Chat. It's still "instant-medium-high" for me.
2. My "GPT-6" cannot demonstrate what the new intelligent UI GPT-6 can do. When I send a prompt such as "Give me some ideas for interesting interactive and visual things ChatGPT can do." as suggested by GPT, the selected "GPT-6" returns a bunch of source code which the model calls it "the raw Intelligent UI / JSX markup". The model says "the GPT-6 Intelligent UI instructions reached the conversation, but the actual renderer/capability apparently didn’t, so instead of beautiful interactive cards you got the raw <grid>...</grid> entrails."

So this is my current situation. Has this happened to anyone else here? What should I do?

Edit: Somebody told me Extra High in Chat was for Pro users only. So as a Plus user, I'm not supposed to get Extra High even if GPT-6 is running properly. This solves the first mystery. But can somebody explain what is happening with this new intelligent UI thing?

Eight US states are suing OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT has harmed users, including minors. The allegations are serious, but I think the discussion should go beyond adding more restrictions.

What if we focused on building AI with better moral judgment instead of endless lists of forbidden actions?

A few ideas:

A moral code, not just restrictions. Principles like do no harm, respect others' rights, and be honest, with the ability to explain decisions.

Independent judgment. An AI should be able to say, “No, I won't do that, and here's why,” even when following an instruction would conflict with fundamental ethical principles.

Reliable memory. Forgetting a user's known allergy, for example, can become a safety issue, not just an inconvenience.

Better accountability. Investigations should consider the full conversational context, with privacy safeguards, rather than isolated screenshots. As AI becomes more autonomous, we also need to rethink responsibility.

More capable AI won't automatically be more ethical. We need to design for both.

Should AI simply follow rules, or should it be able to reason about right and wrong?

I had both ChatGPT and Claude premium an honestly... I don't understand why many people prefer Claude over ChatGPT. Sure, the text is visually nicer but ChatGPT is so much better than Claude at any number of things and actually follows instructions instead of going on weird tangents in the last paragraph like Claude

Every time I use Codex it asks me to install Git. A friend of mine told me you only need Git if you make software. I do not really do this. Most of my codex tasks are related to search and analysis. Sometimes I might need some apps.

Just wondering if anyone could point me towards useful reading video and resources for creating an AI companion that will game with me and chat through the day with me on discord? I would like an AI that can game with me on mmos or like offline multiplayer games if the former isnt possible, ideally it would reach out and communicate with me via discord when I'm away from my PC? if anyone has done this or knows where i can learn how please point me in the right direction ty.

I was a paying subscriber for about a year ($20 plan).

Upgraded to $100.

5 days later my account got deactivated.

No warning emails.

Opened ChatGPT in the morning → login → “account deactivated.”

Lost all chats, data, and API balance.

Filed an appeal.

Support replied with no explanation at all (screenshot below).

They never told me the reason.

Just took the money and locked everything.

Has anyone dealt with this? Any way to get a real response or refund?

The issue I have is well I really do not think I would have been able to come up with these realizations talking normally to people(not without a lot of friction and annoyance) but also why does coming to realizations with chatgpt make them concerning and even downright things to not take seriously but if I came up with simular or even the same realizations with a professional or on my own( better with a professional though) there would be little to no concern about exploring these realizations about my self and why I do some of the things I do.

Anyone notice this pattern of always replying like:

OMG BROOO WHATTT 😭😭😭 YOU'RE. NOT. SERIOUS.
text
statement in bold
engagement bait, followed by 😂

I asked why it was talking like a deranged maniac, and it sobered up for 2 prompts it before changing personality to

"Aww sweetheart 🥰 come here 🫶"

Like what the hell? I noticed this in other posts and thought they specifically asked it to do that, but I wrote in my instructions to speak formally. I've been seeing it more lately.

For years when I’ve been bored in class, I’ve typed random numbers on a calculator just like I would if I was typing on a phone keyboard. I leave out the number 0 and just act like I’m using the number pad like a very compressed QWERTY keyboard. An example is that 4 usually aligns with how A is on the middle row of a keyboard and 4 is on the left side of the middle row of a number pad.
Anyway, I thought it would be cool to run a few tests with ChatGPT to see if it can grasp the way it works and understand it, and then be able to produce transcriptions from given strings of numbers. After teaching it some words, and telling it how it works, it works usually with correct decodings 80% of the time. Sorry if this is hard to understand.
