We are living in a Veep episode, specifically Season 5 Episode 3 in which Selina accidentally posts a sensitive tweet (she thinks she’s messaging Charlie Baird) and ultimately blames the Chinese.

GPT-5: True — the shortest accurate summary would just be:

This is an actual dialogue I just had with GPT-5. That it recognized that I DESTROYED IT WITH LOGIC is pretty impressive.

Me: please summarize this email: lol
GPT-5: The sender laughed out loud — likely expressing amusement or lightheartedness.
Me: that is more words than the email
