GPT 6 'Builds' GTA 6 in 90 Hours, and AI Twitter Can't Stop Joking About It
AI Twitter is swept up in a wave of memes contrasting GTA 6's repeated delays with the breakneck pace of GPT model releases.
Confirmed
- Developer ChrisGPT built a playable GTA 6-style demo in about 90 hours using GPT 6, joking that 'GTA 6 was made by GPT 6,' a post quote-tweeted by developer Dimillian asking 'where is GTA 6.'
- Facing an influx of anti-AI criticism, ChrisGPT clarified the project falls far short of the real game — it was a test of how closely AI could reproduce GTA 6 screenshots — and paid tribute to Rockstar's developers.
- legitapi's old prediction that 'GTA 6 ships before GPT-5' resurfaced after GPT-5 launched while GTA 6 slipped again; the author mocked his 2024 naivety and quipped 'we already have AGI.'
- User rishabh16 joked that Anthropic is rumored to have nearly 'finished' GTA 6, satirizing AI labs racing to ship first.
Why it matters
- The memes capture the stark gap between LLM release cadence and AAA development cycles, and the 90-hour vibe coding project also demonstrates new models' ability to sustain large codebases — while exposing community tensions over generative AI in game content creation.
