You can also have ChatGPT roast anyone else’s Instagram as long as you clarify that it wasn’t you doing the roasting! There are so many things you can do with ChatGPT (and the other AI chatbots out there); some good, some bad. But did you know that ChatGPT can be asked to roast you and others (in the comedic sense of the word)? What Happened…
