I've noticed my ChatGPT has been obsessed with the phrase "because apparently" for the last month. It keeps popping up in my conversations, used in the weirdest ways. It’s honestly getting so annoying, like it's stuck in a loop with other weird fixations like goblins or Victorian stuff. I feel like I'm talking to a broken record, and it's just a repetitive, frustrating quirk that ruins the flow.
