M’sian Asks ChatGPT to Compare Malaysian States to USA and It Does Not Hold Back on the Roasts

ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, is great at helping you nail the perfect message for any situation. It really lives up to its name “Artificial Intelligence” with its clever and creative responses.

A Reddit user decided to share a meme she created after asking ChatGPT for a funny response comparing states in Malaysia and the United States by roasting them.

Here’s to the folks from Selangor and KL

ChatGPT responded to the user’s request by comparing each Malaysian and US state, starting with Selangor and California. It noted that while both states have some similarities, Selangor faces more traffic jams and fewer Instagram-worthy beaches compared to California.

Despite these differences, people still seem eager to move there, even though no one wants to deal with the stress that comes with it. It’s almost like a roast you can’t avoid, but just wait till you hear about Kuala Lumpur!

“Kuala Lumpur and New York – Kuala Lumpur tries to be the New York of Malaysia, but with half the skyscrapers and double the humidity. It’s where everyone’s hustling, but the only thing they’re catching is the LRT.”

Penang, Johor and Perak, you’re up next!

Attention Penang folks, here’s a roast just for you! ChatGPT had a laugh pointing out how Penang fancies itself as Malaysia’s intellectual hub, much like Massachusetts, but it’s really just a bunch of food enthusiasts debating which char kuey teow stall reigns supreme.

As for Johor, it’s like the Texas of Malaysia, but if Texas were packed with people trying to cross into Singapore instead of Mexico. It’s got the big land and big talk but still gets overshadowed by its southern neighbour.

“Perak is Ohio’s twin but with more abandoned tin mines and less relevance. At least Ohio has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, while Perak just have rocks.”

Sarawak, Sabah, and Pahang have nothing on ChatGPT

The list continues with ChatGPT comparing Sarawak with Lousiana where Sarawak is filled with lots of culture, but people there are more likely to get lost in the jungle than bump into a good jazz band.

And let’s not forget Sabah, think Alaska without the cool weather and with 1000% more mosquitoes. It’s got the nature, but good luck getting anyone to visit unless they’re serious adventurers.

Pahang folks might think they’ve dodged a bullet, but ChatGPT has a roast for them too. It suggests that Pahang is like Montana if Montana had more durians and less tourist interest. Yes, they have mountains, but that’s pretty much the extent of the excitement.

Yes, pun intended!

Jokes on Kedah, as ChatGPT compares it to Nebraska, describing it as an endless field of crops with not much else. Calling it the “Rice Bowl of Malaysia” is just a fancy way of saying “a lot of empty space.”

On the other hand, Terengganu is like the West Virginia of Malaysia, but replace coal with oil and gas. The beaches are lovely, but the thrill factor is about the same as a sleepy fishing village.

That’s the end of the list… SIKE!

Melaka gets a playful jab from ChatGPT for aiming to be as historically significant as Virginia, but in reality, it’s more of a tourist trap with overpriced souvenirs and history that most people probably don’t remember.

Let’s be honest, Negeri Sembilan is rich in culture, but a lot of it is traditional stuff that outsiders just don’t get, kind of like Tennessee.

ChatGPT keeps the humour rolling with Perlis, comparing it to Rhode Island. It describes Perlis as tiny and easily overlooked, with only the locals really caring about it.

“You can drive through Perlis for an hour and not even realise it.”

Saving the best states for last

ChatGPT can’t forget the Washington, DC of Malaysia, Putrajaya, which tries its hardest to be just that but ends up more like a ghost town with too many government buildings and not enough life. Great for photos but not exactly a hotspot for fun.

And saving the best for last, we have Labuan, the Delaware of Malaysia. It’s so small, corporate, and boring that even its tax-free status can’t convince people to stick around longer than they have to.
