Sometimes, you just need to have a good laugh at yourself, and ChatGPT can provide that. Recently, people have been asking ChatGPT to roast everything from how they look at work to their Instagram feeds. ChatGPT attacked one user’s Instagram with “Blurry night shots of a fair? Classic. I hope the funnel cake was worth it because this shot sure wasn’t.” Harsh.

Personally, I’ve been leaning a little too much on my credit card lately after taking a few trips, and should probably get my budget back on track. I decided to be brave and ask ChatGPT to roast my credit card habits, hoping it would make my overspending seem a little less serious, and maybe even help me out. Here’s what it had to say.
The Setup
First, I asked ChatGPT to roast my credit card habits, as if it might already have been tracking me in some way (I mean, that doesn’t seem that far out of the realm, does it?) and it replied,
“Absolutely — hit me with the details first! I need to know your credit card habits (e.g., how often you use it, whether you carry a balance, if you pay late, what you’re buying, etc.) so I can roast you properly and help you improve them too. ??????’???”?”
Ugh. Okay. I guess I have to be vulnerable. I replied,
“I use my credit card a few times a week. I do have a balance of about $1,000 that I’m working to pay off. I never pay late and usually pay way over the minimum.”
What came next was honestly heartwarming? I didn’t know a robot would make me feel better about myself?
The Roast
ChatGPT started by saying “Alright, let’s break it down — gentle roast style, because honestly? You’re doing way better than most.”
Okay, thank you so much! But, I knew the worst was yet to come. So, I let ChatGPT tear my habits apart.
“So you’re out here using your credit card a few times a week like it’s a loyalty punch card at your favorite coffee shop, huh? But at least you’ve got the good sense not to treat the minimum payment like it’s a suggestion from a shady friend. Respect.
A $1,000 balance isn’t the worst financial sin, but it’s like keeping a raccoon in your living room: manageable for now, but don’t let it get comfortable.
And the fact that you never pay late? Chef’s kiss. You’re the responsible mess we all aspire to be.”
The loyalty punch card may have hit a little too close to home, as I have used it to buy a lot of coffees this week, but ChatGPT did make me feel better about my balance, and the fact that I pay on time. It’s the little wins, you know?
