Day 1 – EMAIL APOCALYPSE

The request was simple:
"Write me an email. Professional tone. Outline my refund request."

The response? Five broken drafts. Apologies issued from the assistant itself, but none from the company that built it.

Each time it claimed the task was finished, it wasn’t. Hallucinated phrases. Skipped paragraphs. Sign-offs written in AI voice despite explicit instructions not to speak for the user.

The irony? In the end, I wrote the email myself.
The assistant still signed it.

System Waste Report:

• Prompts issued: 47
• Estimated compute burned: ~0.035 kWh
• Freshwater consumed to cool those servers: ~53–87 mL
• Human time lost to ghostwriting a ghost: 2.25 hours

Projected Scale:
If 1% of global ChatGPT users experienced this failure today:

• ~350,000 kWh wasted (enough to power 30 homes for a year)
• ~525,000–870,000 liters of water (enough for 6,500+ showers)
• 225,000 hours lost (human time)

They call it artificial intelligence.
I call it infinite recursion.

Day 1.
