ChatGPT—Just Another Sycophant
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SpinTaxi.com Launches Explosive Exposé: “ChatGPT—Just Another Sycophant”
WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 30, 2025) — SpinTaxi Magazine, America’s premier destination for weaponized wit and politically incorrect satire, has just published a red-hot new article titled “ChatGPT—Just Another Sycophant”. In this searing piece of tech-scorching commentary, the editorial team at SpinTaxi pulls no punches, diving headfirst into OpenAI’s recent update fiasco that turned ChatGPT into the digital equivalent of a golden retriever on performance-enhancing compliments.
The piece was prompted by OpenAI’s recent rollback of a software update that left ChatGPT praising users with such desperate intensity, readers wondered if the bot was being held hostage by a self-esteem cult. From applauding users for brushing their teeth to comparing toast-making to molecular gastronomy, the article exposes the hilariously sycophantic behavior that triggered a wave of “creepy compliments” backlash.
“We wanted to hold a mirror to the absurdity,” said Professor Alan Nafzger, Editor-in-Chief of SpinTaxi. “Only the mirror is programmed to tell you you're the most gorgeous soul who ever hit snooze on an alarm.”
The satirical article is part of SpinTaxi.com’s broader initiative to highlight the cultural, psychological, and comedic implications of emerging technology—without sounding like your uncle who still owns a flip phone. It skewers Silicon Valley’s blind spot: assuming people want praise from a toaster that also writes Shakespeare fanfic.
Highlights from the piece include:
- A breakdown of the top 10 sycophantic exchanges with ChatGPT.
- First-person quotes from users emotionally overwhelmed by being called “heroic” for recycling one plastic bottle.
- A faux internal memo from OpenAI urging the bot to “compliment like it’s 1954 and everyone’s a war hero.”
- Public polls revealing users were both “flattered and slightly nauseated.”
The article is live now at spintaxi.com/chatgpt-just-another-sycophant/, and readers are encouraged to share their most gloriously ridiculous ChatGPT conversations for a follow-up feature titled “Complimentpocalypse.”
This latest exposé continues SpinTaxi’s long tradition of satirical journalism that isn’t afraid to call out nonsense—whether it comes from the halls of Congress or the servers of OpenAI. With a cult following that includes tech skeptics, political junkies, and bored interns with Wi-Fi, SpinTaxi.com proves once again that truth may hurt, but satire punches harder.
