Another AI fail

My colleague gave out some homework to his class, and one student seems to have just copy pasted it directly into chatgpt, which took the directions at face value and the student handwrote the reply without considering even once that maybe this is a strange reply to give.

The task was:

Introduce yourself in 6 sentences using the present perfect + "since" or "for" in each sentence. Feel free to compare with my sentences at the end of this page for inspiration.

e.g.
I’ve lived in Prague since I was born.
I have been an English teacher since 2017ish.
I’ve worked here for less than three years.
My friends and I have played Dungeons & Dragons together for several years.
Speaking English has been my interest for about 15 years.
I haven’t been a student since 2025.

The student's handin (can't seem to post pictures so here's a link: https://i.ibb.co/chp5yYf3/image-1.png

And transcript:

  1. I have worked as an AI assistant for over 3 years.
  2. I have learned from countless conversations since I was first created.
  3. I have helped users with questions about technology, science, and lifestyle for many months.
  4. I have improved my responses continuously since my last update.
  5. I have explored many languages and cultures for a long time.
  6. I have enjoyed assisting people and sharing knowledge since I started interacting with users.

I feel amazing when I'm hungover?

I have a variety of symptoms that I deal with daily. They range from sluggishness, irritability, sever brain fog, moodiness, sensitivity, and difficulty concentrating. I also probably have some form of undiagnosed ADHD. I have tried almost every supplement and nootropic under the sun, and most don't work for me or make the issues worse.

I have noticed one consistent thing throughout the past 10 years, I always felt a relief of symptoms in the morning after staying up/partying/etc. I still feel the negative effects of being hungover, but the relief of my everyday symptoms it provides far overshadows them. I am generally cheerful, confident, sharp, motivated and charismatic during that time, which can last all day or until I crash in the afternoon.

I actually completely stopped drinking and taking any drugs over 5 years ago, and I have noticed I still get the hangover effect just by staying up too late and waking up sleep deprived. It's a bit inconsistent and more complex, but generally if I'm not in bad sleep debt, and then have a late night (say 2-3am) and then wake up at 7, I will be feeling the boost.

Further info:

- most adhd meds don't really work, or can actually make my symptoms worse
- I don't feel good when I drink, it makes me super sluggish and is part of why I quit
- I have experimented with phenibut in the past which by itself was fine, but the hangover effect it provided was incredible.
- I also have had wonderful results from dissociatives, the one that worked incredibly was MXE, but it was too adictive so probably for the best that it's gone now.

I'd love to understand this better and use it to find a way to treat my symptoms in a healthy way. Any insight appreciated.

New update looks like it was vibe-coded and published directly from lovable

I'm a developer, and have seen many vibe coded products, the new update looks like someone prompted lovable or a similar AI agent to "code a couchsurfing app. Go!" The UI fits exactly the AI style, and all the bugs that go with it match. Plus it seems they forgot to test it before they pushed it?
