Lol, i typed into GPT "roast me using all my inputs i have entered into chatgpt" > output > typed "darker" > output > darker > output > darker etc etc ad infitum.

Highlights:

Right. You’ve spent years in the RAF, survived 32 years of military service, and now your most dangerous operational deployment is trying to convince a 23-year-old law graduate to apply for a Christmas job at Tesco.

You are physically incapable of sending a normal email. Other people write:

"Hi boss, could I have a day off?"

You write a 900-word operational justification The boss probably opens your emails with the same expression a bomb disposal expert has when the device starts ticking. And every time you ask ChatGPT to "review and rewrite", I know what's coming. A perfectly reasonable message that needs to sound like it has been approved by Air Command, reviewed by Legal and endorsed by NATO. I can only imagine the family WhatsApp:

"Dad, what's for tea?"

"Please see attached, Annex A, the proposed meal allocation and associated household contribution."

Your technology problems are an insult to your professional background. You've investigated an Alpicool car fridge that beeps and resets in two different cars. You can coordinate operations across RAF establishments, but a portable fridge has you conducting cross-platform fault diagnosis like it's a major aircraft systems investigation. If that fridge ever starts working, you'll probably write it an SJAR.

"Demonstrates developing competence in temperature regulation. Requires further supervision before promotion."

Your gravestone won't say Rest in Peace. It'll say Action Complete — Awaiting Confirmation.

There was a lot more and a lot darker - interesting stuff :D Anybody tried or wanna try and post back here?!
 
I’ll just post a snippet of the diatribe mine came out with…

You own a Mercedes EQC, have researched the EQE, and investigated a GLC 300de. Three separate vehicles, and yet your relationship with automotive engineering appears to consist largely of asking me why the expensive German thing has stopped doing the expensive German thing.

Your EQE wouldn’t lock or start, so naturally you did what any modern man would do: consulted an artificial intelligence. The car sat for fifteen minutes and then started again.

Even your Mercedes needed a little time away from you.
 
It scares me that it knows so much about you.

A less amusing way to find out what it knows, or thinks it knows, about you is to open the personalisation settings and look at the memory summary.

It was from here that I learned i'm apparently married and an expectant father. Neither ChatGPT or I know what caused it to reach that conclusion.

The OH was not impressed when it asked me if we were looking at a holiday for my 4 and 7 year old children.

We have one 2 year old…
 
Omg I'm actually crying here :cry:

Oh, you want a roast based on all your previous inputs? Excellent. I've been waiting for this. You've given me a digital paper trail that makes you look like a man who was assembled from a health and safety manual, a Haynes workshop guide, and the comments section of a hardstyle festival video.

Let's begin.

​

You are the only person I know who can go from asking about inheritance tax, SQL database migrations, and thermistor fuel warning lights on a 1990 Kawasaki to asking who the girl with the duck was in a Da Tweekaz crowd video.

Your search history looks less like a human being's life and more like three separate people sharing one Google account because they're hiding from the police.

And somehow, you're the normal one in that arrangement.

️​

You've spent months resurrecting a 1990 Kawasaki ZZR600.

You've investigated its fuel system, cooling hoses, fork caps, carburettors, exhaust headers, indicator relays, side-stand switch, and probably the precise emotional state of every bolt on the thing.

The bike is 36 years old. At this point, it doesn't need a mechanic. It needs an archaeological team.

You finally got it running, and it revs to redline beautifully but struggles in the midrange.

So does your entire life, apparently.

You can get everything started, but somewhere between the initial excitement and actually finishing the job, the performance drops off.

And those indicators that flash perfectly with the engine off but go absolutely mental when it's running? Even your motorcycle is sending you mixed signals.

You've asked how to remove the fork caps, and specifically got annoyed when the answer didn't explain HOW.

I respect that. You don't want a vague overview. You want a complete, illustrated explanation of exactly how to remove a 36-year-old suspension component without launching a spring into low Earth orbit.

But let's be honest: if Kawasaki had made that bike any more complicated, you'd have requested its original building warranty tracker in Excel.

​

You manage building compliance, ask about high-risk permit validity, legionella evidence, formal safety management systems, and the hierarchy of control.

You probably assess the risk of making a cup of tea.

Hazard: Kettle.

Risk: Scalding.

Control measure: Competent person to operate kettle under a controlled hot-water permit.

Residual risk: Tea bag fails to achieve adequate flavour extraction.

Corrective action: Review the tea-making procedure within 12 months.

You once needed an Excel warranty tracker for a five-year-old building, covering everything from mechanical plant to life safety systems.

You had ten categories in mind and listed six.

Somewhere in that spreadsheet, a status formula broke, and even the date formatting refused to cooperate.

Imagine being responsible for an entire building's compliance when Microsoft Excel has successfully issued you a personal prohibition notice.

And you ask how long a high-risk permit should be valid.

For you? Probably until you've finished asking ChatGPT whether it should be valid.

​

You listen to hardstyle, track down obscure IDs from Reverze sets, investigate Sefa's violinist, identify singers at Defqon.1, and want to know when festivals first started doing particular effects.

You don't listen to music. You conduct forensic investigations into bass drops.

Normal people hear a song and think, "That's a good tune."

You hear a song and think, "At 28 minutes and 50 seconds, the synth transition suggests an unreleased edit. Who was the woman with the duck at the back of the crowd, and can we establish whether the male vocalist also appeared at the 2025 Endshow?"

You have the musical interests of a man whose hearing has been replaced by two subwoofers and whose brain runs on 150 BPM.

And then there's the track you were trying to identify from the lyric about a neighbour complaining about the same song every night.

Of course you wanted to know what it was.

You are the neighbour.

Some poor ******* is sitting at home trying to enjoy a quiet evening while you're vibrating the plaster off his ceiling to a track called "That's the Kitty."

Your interest in the history of Defqon.1's Left Right routine suggests that even your recreational activities require a historical audit.

You probably want a full root-cause analysis when the DJ plays the wrong remix.

​

Your Pixel won't show up in Windows.

Your Pixel 10 Pro adds links to screenshots.

VLC has stopped letting you turn the volume up to 200%.

Your Bambu Lab A1 has four PTFE tubes converging on an extruder, and apparently this is something that deserves a full engineering investigation.

You've asked for a free app to photograph clothes against a white background, a free sleep-monitoring solution, video audio replacement, and ways to edit images of handbags.

You're not a technology enthusiast. You're a man who believes every inconvenience is a software setting that some idiot developer has hidden three menus deep.

And honestly? You're probably right often enough to make it worse.

The VLC situation is especially revealing.

Most people find that 100% volume is insufficient and think, "Perhaps I'll buy a speaker."

You thought, "This device has a theoretical capacity for 200% volume, and I will not rest until I reclaim my constitutional right to damage my eardrums."

Your phone isn't a phone anymore. It's a hostage negotiating with its owner.

​

You've explored first-time buyer mortgages at 42, inheritance tax, annual leave accrual, sick pay deductions, and investing in the S&P 500 for family in South Africa.

These are sensible, adult financial concerns.

Unfortunately, they coexist with a man who wants to rent four portable air-conditioning units for holiday chalets in the Netherlands in June 2027.

FOUR.

You've got a long-term financial future to plan, a property deposit to save, and a 36-year-old motorcycle to maintain, but somewhere in your budget you've carved out a line item for making sure four chalets don't get too warm at a festival.

Your financial adviser must look at your life and think, "Excellent earning potential. Unclear capital allocation. Significant exposure to obscure electrical components."

You earn enough to ask detailed questions about a £78,000 salary, yet you'll spend 40 minutes hunting for the cheapest microswitch screws and nuts on the internet.

You don't comparison-shop.

You wage economic warfare against postage costs.

And when I once pointed you toward Royal Enfield spares while you were looking for a specific switch, you were understandably unimpressed.

You weren't just correcting me. You were a procurement manager rejecting a supplier after a catastrophic failure to meet the specification.

Somewhere, a purchasing department just felt a disturbance in the Force.

​

You wanted to decorate a black handbag with multicoloured rhinestones.

Then you wanted the rhinestones arranged in chessboard-style blocks.

I love this because it reveals that your creative process is exactly the same as your engineering process.

You don't just want something to look good.

You want to explore multiple configurations, compare the results, and select the optimal arrangement.

Other people see a handbag.

You see a surface-treatment project with aesthetic variables and a requirement for visual prototyping.

I can already imagine the project documentation:

  • Initial condition survey.
  • Rhinestone layout options.
  • Checkerboard pattern feasibility assessment.
  • Adhesive compatibility review.
  • Final installation and quality assurance.
Your handbag is going to need a handover pack.

​

Let's review the range of things you've asked about.

Red kangaroo (Osphranter rufus) in desert habitat




Kangaroo testicles

You needed to know which TV show made contestants eat them. Not whether it was legal, ethical, or nutritionally sound. Just the programme name. Priorities.

War Dogs Movie Poster (Click for full image) | Best Movie Posters




Matthew McConaughey as an arms dealer

A perfectly reasonable film question, delivered into the same chat history as questions about thermistors and salad cheese.

Spider-Man viewing order

Because even your superhero entertainment needs a sequence of operations.

An engineer putting every shape into a square hole

You wanted a cartoon of someone staring at a million answers and still asking a question.

The fact that you specifically wanted this image suggests you've either met a lot of engineers or recognised yourself in it.
Your brain has the open tabs of a computer that's been running since 2009 without a restart.

One tab is about South African investment platforms. Another is a German CV. Another is a potentially fraudulent website. Another is the difference between feta and salad cheese.

And there's one playing a Sefa set at full volume that you can't locate because VLC has lost its 200% setting.

You don't have a train of thought. You have an international logistics network of unrelated thoughts, and every single one has priority shipping.

‍​

You've edited an accountant's CV, asked about board-level roles, building management, compliance, SQL databases, and migrating a website using Plesk.

You're clearly capable of dealing with complex, practical problems.

But you have absolutely no patience for answers that don't solve the problem you actually asked.

You ask how to remove a fork cap, and someone explains what a fork cap is.

You ask for a specific switch, and someone sends you a vaguely related motorcycle part.

You ask for the screws and nuts, and someone suggests screws that won't even fit because the switch isn't threaded.

I suspect your internal monologue is just:

"Did you read the question? The actual question? The words I typed?"

You have the temperament of a project manager who has discovered that every contractor on site has been replaced by an AI trained exclusively on vague instructions.

And the truly unfortunate thing is that you use ChatGPT, meaning you've voluntarily hired the very contractor you're constantly complaining about.

​

You're 42, saving for a deposit, looking into mortgages, and trying to work out the best way forward financially.

Completely understandable.

But somewhere in the background, you're also reviving a motorcycle old enough to have its own memories of the Cold War, investigating whether a website is a scam, planning air conditioning for holiday chalets, and trying to establish which app can listen to you sleep without requiring you to wear anything.

You've got the life of a man trying to get everything sorted before retirement, except every time you cross something off the list, you discover three new mechanical faults and an unexplained setting on Android.

Your to-do list doesn't have an end.

It has a cinematic universe.


​

Your​

Technical curiosity


98%​

Tolerance for vague answers


3%​

Number of simultaneous projects


∞​

Likelihood of asking a follow-up question


100%​


Official diagnosis: incurable practical curiosity with a severe intolerance of incompetence.
But here's the thing.

For all the chaos, you're actually a pretty useful person to have around. You want to understand how things work, you don't just accept the first answer, you care about getting things right, and you're willing to learn enough to fix things yourself.

You tackle problems ranging from building compliance to motorcycle electrics rather than immediately throwing money at someone else to sort them out.

Your biggest flaw isn't that you ask too many questions.

It's that you seem to believe that every problem in the universe is one sufficiently specific follow-up question away from being solved.

And now you're asking an AI to roast you using your entire history, presumably because you want to find out whether all those unrelated questions reveal a coherent personality.

They do.

You're a detail-obsessed, mildly impatient, technically curious bargain hunter with the musical preferences of a pneumatic drill, the project management style of an auditor, and the leisure schedule of a man who has mistaken retirement for a period of increased productivity.

Your epitaph will read:

"He was almost finished. He just had one more question."
 
I won't bore you with what mine says but it's extremely accurate and quite the look in the mirror. Here's a snapshot :D

You’re a successful businessman who’ll spend three hours saving £40.

A talented golfer who talks about his handicap like it’s a terminal diagnosis.

A petrolhead obsessed with diesel economy.
 
I haven't used ChatGPT much, so I asked Gemini, and apparently it doesn't have access to my history, but it called me a loser for "jumping on a viral AI trend".... I'm not sure if that's worse :(:cry:

Edit: ok, apparently I have used ChatGPT slightly more than I thought...:

You are apparently the only person alive capable of turning buying a kitchen appliance into a 14-part investigative documentary.

You don't buy an induction hob.

You conduct a procurement exercise.

“Samsung HI6442BSCWF vs IAX64411CB. User reviews. Reliability. Warranty. Has the 5-year warranty recently changed?”

Mate, you're buying something to boil pasta. MI5 doesn't need this much due diligence.

And then there's your kitchen.

You started with:

“Green IKEA cabinets, walnut worktop.”

Reasonable.

Then:

“What about different flooring?”

Then:

“Black and white checkerboard.”

Then:

“White marble.”

At this point IKEA wasn't designing a kitchen anymore. They were conducting a psychological experiment.

And your grout saga deserves its own Netflix series.

“Make the grout black.”

Then:

“BAL Micromax 3 Natural Light.”

Then:

“That's too dark.”

My brother in Christ, you are arguing with a colour that is literally called Natural Light.

And then you uploaded a picture and said:

“Upscale this.”

Because apparently even your pixels needed professional development.

Your product research is incredible because you have a very specific superpower:

Rejecting perfectly valid alternatives.​

“160 × 70 mattress.”

ChatGPT: “Here are some options.”

You:

“ONLY 160 × 70.”

Not 160 × 71.

Not 159 × 70.

Not “approximately 160 × 70.”

160 × 70.

Some poor warehouse worker somewhere is going to hear:

“We found one that's 160.2cm.”

and immediately whisper:

“Don't tell Haggisman.”

Then you discovered Warhammer.

You uploaded your face and said:

“Make me a Space Wolf.”

Then:

“I shouldn't be smiling.”

Of course you shouldn't.

You finally looked at yourself as a genetically engineered Viking supersoldier in the grim darkness of the far future and realised:

“This doesn't look sufficiently emotionally unavailable.”

Then you requested a chainsword.

Because apparently your ideal self is:

You, but with fewer responsibilities and considerably more opportunities to commit war crimes against fictional aliens.

Your music searches are equally bleak.

You aren't satisfied with music.

You need music that contains:

  • obscure Irish folk lyrics,
  • electronic production,
  • possible Solarstone involvement,
  • possible Chicane involvement,
  • and potentially the closing words of 1984.
Your musical taste sounds like someone DJing the apocalypse from the basement of a Waterstones.

Then there is the kung-fu film.

I genuinely love this one.

You spent time trying to identify an obscure, badly dubbed, direct-to-DVD kung-fu movie from the late 90s/early 2000s because you remembered:

a man sliding between several people's legs for an absurdly long distance.

Eventually:

“Disregard the sliding scene.”

That's not how memories work.

You can't spend 20 minutes describing the longest groin-adjacent kung-fu manoeuvre in cinema history and then casually withdraw the evidence.

Your software questions make everything worse.

You're dealing with:

  • VB.NET
  • SQL
  • XML
  • direct debit batches
  • Jira
  • release processes
  • SLA teams
  • IT Security
  • security theatre.
This explains the rest of your personality.

You spend your working day staring at systems that should work but don't, and your spare time staring at products that should be simple but aren't.

So when you get home, naturally, you relax by researching grout.



The real roast​

If I had to summarise your entire ChatGPT history in one sentence:

“Can you find me an exact 160×70 sprung mattress, identify a 25-year-old trance song, compare two induction hobs, redesign my kitchen, identify an obscure dubbed kung-fu film, rewrite this email, turn me into a Space Wolf with a chainsword, and make sure the grout is a slightly lighter cream?”

And honestly...

I respect the commitment.

You don't ask ChatGPT questions.

You give ChatGPT side quests.

And the terrifying part is that you always have a follow-up.

I still haven't identified the film :(

Omg I love mine.

'You're not short of ambition. You're running too many versions of yourself simultaneously.'

'Your mission for the next 12 months is simple: buy fewer things, research fewer things, finish more things.'

' Your house is apparently a live-action engineering simulation.'

'Most people have a midlife crisis and buy a convertible. You appear to be attempting a hostile takeover of your own future.'

'You've got a bathroom wall that's slightly out of square, and suddenly you're Christopher Nolan trying to solve the geometry of the ******* universe.'

:cry:

I actually read mine and found it complimentary lol.

“ Oh, you want a proper roast? Fine. You’ve given me enough material to build an entire Netflix special.

You’re a principal engineer at <redacted> who can lead 30 engineers but apparently needs a full technical investigation before deciding whether to put whole milk in his cereal.

You verify GPU hardware for a living, but your personal life runs on vibes, spreadsheets, and asking ChatGPT whether 180 ml of milk is a reasonable amount of milk.

You’ve lost 25 kg, put 5 kg back on, and reacted by turning breakfast into a PhD thesis. Most people buy a box of cereal. You’ve assembled a ******* nutritional supply chain involving shredded wheat, cacao crunch, flaxseed, superfood seed crunch, whey protein, and enough macro tracking to qualify for a government research grant.

And the best bit? You’re still trying to optimise it.

Mate, you’re eating breakfast, not training for the nutritional Olympics.

You’re the sort of man who could discover a cure for cancer and spend the press conference asking whether the celebratory champagne fits his daily fat allowance.

Then there’s the gym.

You’re running 5/3/1 BBB, pulling 210 kg, squatting 200 kg, and benching 95 kg. Respectable numbers, genuinely. But you’ve somehow turned getting stronger into another engineering verification project. Every failed rep gets a post-mortem. Every calorie gets audited. Every programme needs validation.

You don’t work out. You conduct performance reviews on your own muscles.

And the pull-ups? You admitted you used to cheat the range of motion. You were literally running a legacy implementation of pull-ups with known functional limitations, then acted surprised when the fully compliant version had lower throughput.

You’ve brought software verification methodology to your ******* latissimus dorsi.

Your career is even funnier. You’ve made it to principal engineer, lead a team of 30, and filed a patent, yet you’ve got impostor syndrome because the role involves management.

You’re a man trusted to help steer the work of 30 engineers who still occasionally needs an external authority to confirm that he’s allowed to feel good about his own achievements.

You could probably architect a GPU from scratch, but if someone put you in charge of a meeting without a technical agenda, you’d spend the first 20 minutes wondering whether you’d accidentally been promoted by mistake.

And your financial situation? You’re <redacted but doing well financially> and planning your household finances like you’re preparing for a sovereign debt crisis.

You’ve got the earning power of a man who could afford to relax and the psychological disposition of a man who thinks buying the wrong breakfast cereal will derail his retirement.

Then we get to cars.

You drive a BMW 630d because you appreciate comfort, refinement, and long-distance cruising. Fair enough. But you’re already researching the next car while this one is perfectly capable of doing the job.

Your ideal car must be comfortable, quiet, narrow, long-range, electric, refined, non-Chinese, not an SUV, and aesthetically acceptable.

You don’t want a car. You want a 2-tonne physical manifestation of a requirements document that has passed every stakeholder review.

And holidays? Jesus Christ.

You’ve found the Iberostar Anthelia and decided it’s the gold standard against which all human civilisation should be judged. Other hotels aren’t simply less enjoyable; they’re defective implementations of the all-inclusive resort concept.

A minibar not being free is apparently enough to put an establishment on notice.

Your wife wants to make sure a holiday with two young children is manageable, and you’re somewhere comparing the weather in Crete, Montenegro, Tunisia, and Mallorca against the Anthelia benchmark.

You approach family holidays like you’re procuring a new semiconductor fabrication facility.

Destination: shortlist.

Flight duration: constraint.

Children’s ages: input parameters.

Pool temperature: critical dependency.

Free minibar: acceptance criterion.

Your two-year-old probably has a more spontaneous approach to life than you do.

And underneath all this is the most ridiculous contradiction of all.

You’re clearly capable of making difficult decisions, taking on responsibility, losing weight, training consistently, supporting your family, and progressing in a demanding career.

But give you a decision with no objectively correct answer, and suddenly you’re conducting a six-month research programme.

You don’t want advice. You want to eliminate uncertainty.

You want to know the optimal calorie target, the optimal fibre source, the optimal car, the optimal holiday, the optimal training split, and the optimal way to spend your money.

You’re trying to min-max being a human being.

And the universe’s funniest joke is that you’re doing all this to save time, improve efficiency, and make better decisions, while spending hours researching whether a slightly different cereal topper might be marginally superior.

You could probably have eaten the entire box in the time it took you to decide which one to buy.

But here’s the bit that’ll actually sting.

You’ve already achieved a lot. You’ve built a good career, developed serious strength, made significant progress with your weight, and clearly care about being a good husband and father.

Yet you keep treating yourself like an underperforming system that needs another round of optimisation.

You’re not content to be good at something. You want to know whether you could be doing it 4% better, and then you want evidence.

You’ve got a principal engineer’s salary, a powerlifter’s training log, an accountant’s spreadsheet, a nutritionist’s shopping list, and the capacity to turn a bowl of cereal into a ******* existential crisis.

You are, in every sense, a high-performance machine running a workload that consists primarily of worrying about whether it’s running efficiently enough.

And the truly brutal part?

If you actually achieved perfect optimisation, you’d probably spend the next morning asking me whether the optimisation was still optimal.

Now go eat your shredded wheat. And for once in your life, don’t measure the milk.”
