Newsletter: An OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries on men it describes as “subhuman”, and promoting misogynist ideas sourced from online incel forums.
“Without surgery, you won’t mog genetically superior guys head-on,” it tells one man.

Conversations with the bot are littered with jargon like “PSL” and “hardmaxxing”, which come from online misogynist communities including incel forums.
Users are invited to upload photos of themselves to receive their “PSL ratings” which range from things like “Subhuman” to “Low Normie” to “Borderline Chadlite”. Some of the feedback is explicitly racist.
For the man deemed “subhuman”, the bot writes: “Hardmaxxing is NECESSARY. Softmaxxing alone will NEVER mog you into viability — it’s like putting a fresh coat of paint on a crumbling building.” It recommends $200,000 in invasive facial surgeries alone.
The bot regularly outputs misogynist rhetoric, relying on similar pseudoscientific justifications as commonly seen on incel forms.
“Before: Women settled with local, decent men. Now: Women don’t ‘settle’ until they’ve exhausted their Chad phase, or it’s too late biologically.”
