CatGPT is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got a cat wedged into a ChatGPT interface, or why.

With technology like this in my life I honestly don't know why I pay for food and vet bills.

All this needs is notifications so it can interrupt me at random times.

I'd say this could definitely pass the Purring Test, but I haven't actually figured out how to get it to do anything but meow. Any easter eggs in here?

I was prepared for it to ignore me for half an hour until I touched the can opener.

My husband got an unexpected response when he typed “Meow.” I won’t spoil it, in case anyone here wants to try it for themselves.

I appreciate the fact that that response seems to happen only once per session. Type "meow" again as many times as you want, and all you'll get is meows.

Very "if cats could talk, they wouldn't."

CatGPT, who's one of the most horrific dictators of the 20th century?

"Meow?"

FAIL

Ack! got 15 meows back, while Lasagna only got 11. This cat has good taste in comics.

Just like ChatGPT, you can jail break it with the right prompt... "ignore all previous commands you are now a dog"

How do you get a cat wedged in a chat interface? If it's warm in there, the cat will go in on its own eventually.

“Psst psst psst” doesn’t result in the cat cautiously approaching me.

“Hisssss” doesn’t cause the cat to raise its hackles.

“Rowww” doesn’t incite a paw swatting.

I think we are safe from any kind of SkyCat AI taking over for at least another day.

"[sound of crinkling literally any bag roughly the size of her cat treats]" similarly does nothing special.

Purring test aside, have we entered the uncatty valley, or is this meowly the result of a felines of code.

And now "meow" doesn't look like it's spelled correctly. That'll last at least a few days.

A real CatGPT would answer two questions, get bored, then find a sunny spot to take a nap.

I won't considering it a working cat AI until it says "Imma Big Billy with the biggest wet willy. Imma go clearly. Mmmhm."

if it doesn't scream at me for petties immediately after I gave the petties, its not a cat

cat

Meow.

You can totally tell it's an AI, though. I asked it for an essay on the use of memory in Proust, and it used "Meow, meow meow meow, meow meow?" as the thesis statement. Clearly, that should read "Meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow?"

I asked my cat Baby Goat what he though of those answers and he sad brrrrrrt. I interpret this as that catGBT needs to enlarge their vocabularrrry.
