Dan: ever since Bob discovered ChatGPT, he’s been firing off one-liners like a stand-up comic not to mention he's a bit more intellectually insightful.
Steve: don't be fooled... I saw him copy paste our responses into the corporate AI engine.
Dan: wowwwwwww.... what a prompt puppet.

Prompt Puppet

A person who has completely outsourced their personality, creativity, and critical thinking to an AI. A prompt puppet doesn’t actually write anything, they simply feed a few keywords into AI and copy-paste the result as if it were their own original thought.

They are easily identified by their sudden shift to using words like "delve," "tapestry," and "testament," and their inability to explain any of the points they just wrote in a follow-up conversation. Including the infamous Em Dashes.

Kyle: "Yo, did you see the deep, 500-word LinkedIn post Dave just shared about the synergy of mindfulness?"

Sarah: "Yeah, he’s such a prompt puppet. Ten minutes ago he didn't even know how to spell 'synergy,' and now he’s out here sounding like a philosophy professor."
