Sunday Spin-Down: GPT-5 Becomes a Tourist Attraction
By Sunday, cities began marketing their Prompt-Free Days as vacation packages. In Los Angeles, bus tours now stop at unplugged cafés where visitors can “watch influencers experience a moment of silence for the first time in years.”
The Tesla tax credit hustle took a strange detour when a Vermont bed-and-breakfast installed GPT-5 in every guest room, billing it as “an AI-powered turn-down service.” Guests complained the AI kept dimming the lights to write moody poetry about the pillows.
The Morse code underground reached peak hipster when a Brooklyn speakeasy started serving cocktails named after dot-dash sequences. Their best-seller, “.- ..” (AI), is just espresso and Red Bull served in a champagne flute.
Grandma Maureen, refusing to slow down, announced her latest project: a children’s book titled “Don’t Let the Robot Drink Your Juice.” It comes with a built-in flashlight so kids can read during blackouts. Early reviews call it “terrifying, yet practical.”
