Satire: 'The people living in my walls' confirm OpenAI secretly gutted ChatGPT Astra
AI_is_ok_i_guess · reddit · 2026-10-14
A Reddit satire post skewers the 'secretly nerfed model' conspiracy theory: the author deadpans that the evidence is 'overwhelming' — three Reddit comments, a benchmark that fluctuated 4%, and a guy who felt the model change after asking the same question seventeen times.
It dutifully reproduces every classic talking point: good answers are 'OpenAI temporarily switching the real model back on to conceal the operation,' independent benchmarks don't count because 'I've used it for three weeks and I just know,' and the sources are 'the people living in my walls.' It ends with a threat of legal action. A widely-shared parody of the model-gutting discourse.
