If you’re not familiar with Doja Cat yet, 1) welcome to the above-rock world! And 2) she’s a pop sensation known for endlessly catchy (and inevitably viral) songs, gorgeous looks, and a pretty wild internet presence.
Still, even by Doja’s standards, yesterday’s Tweet calling her mega-successful albums Planet Her and Hot Pink ‘cash grabs’ and telling fans that ‘yall (sic) fell for it’ was a pretty wild turn of events.
planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it. now i can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while yall weep for mediocre pop.

Including this ChatGPT-generated response, which somehow captured the situation perfectly?
@DojaCat Oh, sweetie, if only we could all be as effortlessly cool and superior as you. But alas, some of us just enjoy a catchy pop tune every now and then. Enjoy your island getaway!
