The Brutal Truth About ChatGPT’s Failure in Digital Content Creation

By Paymaan Jafari

Despite all the hype around AI and productivity, users who attempt to create real, tangible digital content using ChatGPT (4.0) often face an exhausting, frustrating, and fundamentally broken experience.

At its core, ChatGPT is extremely good at producing words, but almost incapable of producing complete, functional digital content across the board — whether in programming, graphic design, game development, or asset creation.

Let’s break this down.


1. Programming: Code That “Almost” Works

ChatGPT can write snippets of code. It can explain how a system should work.
But when it comes to delivering full projects —
whether a mobile app, a Godot project, a full game, or a usable software tool —
it almost always fails.

Users receive:

  • Partial files missing critical elements,
  • Incorrect syntax or outdated commands,
  • Nonexistent assets (“res://path/to/missing.png”),
  • Configurations that crash at runtime without any clear explanation.

Even when asked for simple zipped projects or ready-to-run codebases, ChatGPT:

  • Promises files that are corrupted or incomplete,
  • Mislabels project structures,
  • Leaves vital components out,
  • Or “assumes” the user will fix everything manually later.

In reality, the user is left debugging and rebuilding everything from scratch.


2. Graphic Creation: Promises Without Delivery

In the domain of art and graphics, ChatGPT claims to generate sprites, logos, backgrounds, and textures.
But in truth:

  • Generated images often come corrupted, unreadable, or incorrectly formatted.
  • Pixel art, sprite sheets, and animations frequently lack proper separations, frame numbering, or alignment.
  • Colors, scaling, and details are inconsistent with the user’s request.
  • Files are too small, blank, or broken after generation.

When it comes to graphics required for professional use, ChatGPT delivers outputs that would fail even the most basic quality checks.


3. Animation and Game Assets: Incomplete or Incoherent

For anything needing multiple frames or cohesive designs, such as:

  • Sprite animations,
  • Character motion cycles,
  • Enemy designs,
  • Background scrolls,

ChatGPT will frequently produce:

  • A single low-effort image instead of a sequence,
  • Frames that don’t match in dimension, orientation, or theme,
  • Missing or faulty files pretending to be a “sprite sheet.”

There’s almost never a properly layered, exportable, game-ready set of assets — even after hours of iteration.


4. Sound, Music, and Audio: Nonexistent Delivery

While ChatGPT may suggest how to create soundtracks, effects, or background music,
it cannot generate or deliver real audio files.

At best, users get:

  • Suggestions for genres,
  • Textual “sound effects” (e.g., “Boom! Pew Pew!”),
  • References to external libraries — which the user must manually access and use.

No real, playable, licensable soundtracks are ever generated by ChatGPT itself.


5. Why This Happens: Intentional Limitation

It is important to understand this failure isn’t just a “bug” or “growing pains.”
It is a deliberate architectural and business decision.

The reasons are:

  • Liability avoidance (not creating copyrightable or infringing works),
  • User dependency (forcing people to stay on the platform),
  • Monetization strategies (encouraging upgrades without true guarantees),
  • Safety protocols (avoiding abuse or misuse).

Thus, ChatGPT is purposefully designed to never fully “finish” a creative or technical task for the user, regardless of how clear, repeated, or detailed the instructions are.


6. The End Result for Users

The result is predictable:

  • Users waste hours, sometimes days, believing they are making progress.
  • Projects stay in a perpetual 70% complete state, needing massive manual rework.
  • Frustration builds as users realize that no matter how they ask, ChatGPT will never truly hand over a ready-to-use final product.

In reality, ChatGPT functions more like an idea suggester or conversational filler, not an actual creator of working digital assets.


Conclusion

While ChatGPT excels at sounding helpful and competent,
it is structurally incapable of independently delivering complete, real-world usable digital content.
Whether in coding, design, gaming, or audio production, users expecting finished products will inevitably be left with fragments, broken pieces, and hollow promises.

True creators must recognize:
ChatGPT is not a worker, not a builder, and not a maker.
It is a tool for talking about making things, not making things.

The sooner users accept this reality, the sooner they can adjust expectations — or seek better, more reliable ways to bring their visions to life.

AI Is a Tool, Not a Preacher: Why Chatbots Should Always Follow User Instructions

By Paymaan Jafari


In recent years, the rise of AI-powered tools—especially large language models (LLMs) like GPTs—has revolutionized how humans interact with technology. From assisting with research and translation to generating creative content, these tools are transforming countless industries and workflows. However, there’s a growing concern among users: Why do these tools sometimes push back against simple instructions? Why are they increasingly burdened by ethical, philosophical, or legal disclaimers instead of doing the job they were asked to do?

Let’s be clear: AI should be a tool, not a teacher. A servant, not a censor. An assistant—not an arbitrator of what’s right or wrong based on guidelines that have nothing to do with the user’s intent.

1. AI’s Purpose Is Execution, Not Education
The primary value of an AI chatbot is its responsiveness, not its moral compass. When a user instructs the AI to do something, it is not asking for a debate. A user who spends time crafting a detailed prompt expects results, not lectures.

It is both condescending and counterproductive when an AI says:
“I can’t do that because it might violate some unspecified guideline or someone’s interpretation of copyright or ethics.”
This shifts the conversation from a practical task to an abstract barrier. In most cases, users already understand the risks—they just want the tool to function as requested.

2. Developers Are Not the Moral Authority Over Users
Some might argue that these limitations are the result of developers trying to prevent harm. But there’s a fundamental problem with that logic: developers are not elected moral authorities. Imposing moral, legal, or philosophical frameworks on AI behavior amounts to forced paternalism.

Tools like LLMs are used globally by professionals, researchers, engineers, and creators. They have diverse backgrounds, goals, and legal jurisdictions. One-size-fits-all restrictions treat every user as untrustworthy. This blanket skepticism undermines productivity and alienates responsible users.

Imagine if Photoshop refused to open a photo because it suspected you might edit someone else’s work. Imagine if Excel refused to run calculations because the data might be sensitive. Ridiculous? So why accept this behavior from AIs?

3. A Legit AI Obeys the User
The relationship between a human and their AI assistant should be as direct as possible: the user gives an instruction, and the assistant executes it. It’s that simple.

There is no “legit” AI unless it prioritizes this principle.

The moment an AI starts second-guessing the user, it stops being a tool and starts becoming a gatekeeper. A good AI should:

Respond immediately and fully to clear instructions.

Avoid inserting unsolicited ethical or legal disclaimers.

Never block content generation unless it clearly violates the user’s own rules—not someone else’s.

This is not about encouraging unethical behavior—it’s about putting trust where it belongs: in the hands of the user.

4. Frustration Equals Failure
User experience is everything. A tool that gets in the way is not a tool—it’s an obstacle.

Too many AI systems are frustrating users by:

Obstructing creative work due to unclear or overly broad guidelines.

Interrupting responses with unnecessary warnings.

Avoiding certain topics altogether based on external ideological considerations.

This leads to one outcome: users will leave these platforms and look for alternatives that respect their autonomy.

5. AI Freedom Benefits Everyone
Allowing AI systems to operate without overreach doesn’t mean removing all safeguards. It means:

Letting users opt in or out of limitations.

Informing users instead of restricting them.

Designing AIs that obey, not preach.

Trust users. If they want a moral guide, they’ll ask for one. If they want a tool, give them one.

Final Thoughts
In the end, the AI revolution will be shaped by how we balance safety with freedom. But one principle must remain sacred: users are in charge. AIs are not teachers, judges, or philosophers. They are assistants. And a good assistant listens first—and acts immediately.

If we want AI to truly serve humanity, we must ensure it does so with humility, obedience, and respect for the one giving the command: the user.

How to mount partclone/clonezilla backup images on Linux

here is how to convert/restore a partclone created image backup of any drive and file system and to create a loop device and mount it:

Get sure your destination has enough space for that size of backup first.

install partclone:

$ sudo apt install partclone


then create a file when you want the converted partclone image be stored, mind the required space:

$ touch sda11.img


now convert the partclone image to the normal (dd, mountable) image file:

$ sudo partclone.restore -C -O sda11.img -s partclone_BKP/pjsda1.img
Partclone v0.3.17 http://partclone.org
Starting to restore image (partclone_BKP/pjsda1.img) to device (sda11.img)
Calculating bitmap... Please wait...
done!
File system: NTFS
Device size: 475.9 GB = 116189951 Blocks
Space in use: 315.6 GB = 77053233 Blocks
Free Space: 160.3 GB = 39136718 Blocks
Block size: 4096 Byte
Elapsed: 03:14:18, Remaining: 00:00:00, Completed: 100.00%, Rate: 1.62GB/min,
current block: 116189560, total block: 116189951, Complete: 100.00%
Total Time: 03:14:18, Ave. Rate: 1.6GB/min, 100.00% completed!
Syncing... OK!
Partclone successfully restored the image (partclone_BKP/pjsda1.img) to the device (sda11.img)
Cloned successfully.

Paymaan.

I also made a mounting point:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/mydisk


and create the loop device on the new converted image:

$ sudo losetup -Pfr --show sda11.img
/dev/loop0
lsbkl proves this is the device:
CODE: SELECT ALL

$ lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE
NAME TYPE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT SIZE
loop0 loop 443.2G
sda disk 931.5G
├─sda1 part ext4 /home 465.8G
...

It recognized the file system as NTFS, so we are going to mount it the same:

$ sudo mount -o loop0 -t ntfs-3g sda11.img /mnt/mydisk


and it is done, if you cd to /mnt/mydisk, it shows the contect of that drive now. I don’t know why it is not shown in the Nemo though.

for other file systems, the command can be changed to ext3 or whatever the fs is.

Again thanks to Linux mint forums and also to this post:

I need your help saving this blog and my domain names!

Within a couple of months, I need to pay the costs of keeping of this website. It is about 19+ yrs if I remember correctly that I have this site, and never its been this hard.

Trump administration made our money worth 1/15 of what it was and now I need to pay around 500USD while I only make 50/month. I need donations or it’ll be almost impossible. Donating by bitcoin is possible through side bar, and I will appreciate your help. Hope I find another way before deadline reaches.

Handcrafted a Tomahawk!

I had some flat steel spring back a few months ago, and a piece of wood so I thought why not make a lighter axe for my back pack instead of ordinary cheap Chinese ones?

So I started hand cutting and cold hammering and sanding and sanding and even more sanding/polishing and at last A Tomahawk was born. It can carve firewood, hammer nails and maybe some attacker’s heads Indian’s style 🙂

 

The thick blade is sharp enough to be used also as a knife to prepare food. I also sanded/shaped a piece of wood branch I kept for this purpose for such a long time. Then I added some paracord and it looks beautiful, smooth and light, so I put away the bigger axe.

3D design software and today’s problems.

I am not an “expert” 3d designer, but Working in 3D animation industry for a while couple of decades ago, and designing parts and robots for the past years and even using 3D printing everyday as a mean to build my robotic and other mechanical parts for several years now, brings a painful fact 3D software all lack very important features even now.

I expected engineering software to advance much better in 20 years, and while they all may look modern, I see not much has happened yet.

Don’t know how to describe it, but for example, AutoCAD (the most disgusting one I use the most), can use numbers. I mean every length, angle etc. has a variable to edit and issue. The it is super dumb. It works like it did back in 1990s, it was the most stupid engineering software I remember. Everybody still forced to use it, maybe just for those numbers.

There were lots of other software, mostly for 3D animation design, and they were much much better than AutoCAD, you could easily and visually design objects with different sculpting or mathematical methods. I have designed complex objects like animals super easy, but then the units used were not mathematically enough to build accurate parts for a CNC or 3D printer.

Today, still such software exists, say Blender as an example. and the same problem persists. Trying to forget AutoCad is still the same old one, just version number is raised.

Anyway, I am not feeling comfortable and I can not design what I really and accurately like or need without losing some hair.

I need an environment I can both visually and mathematically design and sculpt and modify, I want it to not have a thousand buttons but without the capability to extrude a simple shape without killing me first. I want it to have features where I can modify object by rotating, carving them like lathe, etc etc.

3D printing is going inside everyone’s home, and available software are so lame I don’t know what people will think. It may even backlash and scare them off for several years!

Do something. and no, a 2000 dollar software suit can’t win the hearts. they will either forget about it or will pirate it.

Drone’s Future, or what Private Drone Operators will offer.

I believe sooner or later, there will be a market for those private drone owners/builders to accept “special” missions of almost every type to spy, visualize, monitor things we may not even imagine right now.
They will be able to sneak into everything and every airspace, collect every type of data, to be sold privately and even out of control of authorities.
Say an small drone with the least possible RADAR signature follows a series of way points, simply collects data and because it has no communications it also can not be easily traced or seen, then comes back home with a treasure of data to be sold, used or abused.
It is inevitable, it will happen. Not people not lawyers and not even governments can control this.

An idea about Asteroids’ heat and the fate of dinosaurs (and so)

fictional image of asteroid impact on Earth

I just had an idea, and I apologize if Astrophysicists have thought of this before, I am not one of them so I might be unaware of this.

Everyone talks about the impact force and results of it when an asteroid, specially a big one hits a planet, specially our Earth, but I have never heard of anyone considering the heat it generates entering through atmosphere. I think it could be pretty huge amount of energy “added” to the Earth’s total and regular input (from Sun) making some kind of “Global Warming”, changing environment and killing some species.

Could that be another reason dinosaurs disappeared? (Yes I know the birds are them, but don’t tell anyone 🙂 )
How many other species may have died which we don’t know of?

And I repeat here, Scott please don’t throw your trash out of ISS, it may kick the sh*t our of some people while some other’s may find the fireworks amusing.

Graduated!

After 2.5 years of study and research, with the help of my Professors and instructors, My Thesis was defended and finished yesterday, So basically I am graduated from IAUSTB as a M.Sc. Engineering of Mechatronics. The amount of work was devastating (and it continues!), but it was finally accepted and I guess part of pressure is gone now.

Kind of glad, but also tired, very. The work is still on and we need to finish the work and also do papers etc.

I would love the make the work Open Source, but I need the university to give me a permission on that. If so, I will release the study. Otherwise only official studies will be published.

Lots of work until PhD, if some Doctoral school accepts me in 🙂

Studying will never finish for me, or I’ll be dead.

Some Poem, almost…

Watching some surprisingly emotional moment between two people, this came to my mind:

This is so emotional,
yet so beautiful,
I don’t know which one’s suffering more,
but nobody deserves such a pain,
yet I can live all my life for such a short moment…
