I found something ridiculous while dicking around with ChatGPT...and for far too long I've been sitting on this information not sure what to do with it, but now I realize that I should share with all of you. Because I know that I can trust you guys not to abuse this exploit...right?? I just know deep down in my heart none of you would be so inclined to, say, use this to humurously troll, film it, and then share with the rest of us......that would be....bad........and I would have no choice but to disavow and feature these bad examples of netiquette in a digital hall of shame of sorts.

What I have been able to achieve with this ChatGPT quirk is a way to legally, without any sort of nefarious hacking or brute forcing, find your way into publicly posted HOA zoom calls. Often times the details and credentials of these online meetings are posted on relatively obscure corners of the Internet, be it their neighborhood Facebook groups or little known websites that serve the same purpose. The sort of thing you wouldn't really be able to find without putting in a lot of time or aggregating.

But this is precisely the sort of thing the AI is good at, of course your results will vary by the day, but when you're lucky it'll greet you with essentially an itnerary of meetings you could hop into, especially if your search is expanded to different time zones and regions. Now I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding AI, but look at it this way, if using it to troll becomes a big enough snafu then it becomes a headache for their devs plus it could tank the stock price. In this fake economy staked almost entirely on the promises of the AI industry at this point, that's perhaps the most powerful thing you can do to strike back. And even if using it to be a nuisance doesn't tank the stock or make some grand moral stand, it's just plain funny. Who hasn't helped drain a lake's worth of freshwater in search of lulz?

So, by using this prompt, you too can acquire a list of HOA meetings, their zoom links, and access codes:



A little background for the non-Americans reading this, in the US, HOA's (home owner association's) are a big fucking deal here, especially in the suburbs. On paper these organizations are supposed to help maintain the neighborhood's standards, infrastructure, and collectively preserve/increase the property value, but in reality, it is a system of rule that turns "Karen's" into tyrants and homeowners into subjugates, all kept afloat by quarterly residential fees. It is no coincidence that HOAs rose to prominence following World War II...indeed, NASA wasn't the only organization that Operation Paperclip gave us. Ruling with an iron fist, women on the cusp of menopause become fuhrers of the mundane.


HOA meetings in a nutshell

You may be asking "why HOA meetings specifically?" the reason being is that when looking for general zoom meetings, the AI will usually just opt for townhalls or very large group sessions, things where you don't really get much of a chance to disrupt contribute and participate. There could be other types of Zoom meetings I am not thinking of, but in all honesty, HOAs just flat out suck so much that I really don't care to see if this "exploit" works on anything else.
