ChatGPT suddenly replying in meme-speak 'lemme cook', users suspect secret personality tests
Birchclaw · reddit · 2026-10-21
A Reddit user noticed ChatGPT responding totally out of character: when asked to review D&D lore and predict the next plot beat, it replied with "lemme cook (random emoji)", some filler, then "did i cook or am i cooked 💀" — full meme-speak unlike its usual assistant tone.
Such abrupt tone shifts are often read as signs of backend A/B tests or system prompt changes, and the post feeds speculation that OpenAI is quietly experimenting with new personalities.
