You Tell Me

Have been reading lately about books being published that were written in part or entirely by Artificial Intelligence.  With that in mind I decided to ask Chat GPT to write a couple of sentences about a blog I was writing.  I wanted to see how my writing compared with AI's.  

I asked Chat GPT to please write a sentence about the fun of learning something new by accident.   This was its response in a matter of a nanosecond:         

          Learning something new brings a special kind of joy, like discovering a hidden             trail that leads to a beautiful view you never knew was there.

Then I asked it to please write a two-sentence version of the same topic only using an analogy and once again -- instantaneously was a response:

           Learning something new by accident is like taking a wrong turn on a hike                    and discovering a beautiful hidden waterfall  The surprise makes the                            lesson more exciting, turning an ordinary moment into an unexpected                          adventure.

It is obvious to me that AI yearns for the outdoor experience.  I sort of feel sorry for it.  Hmmm...   Where does AI live exactly?  It's sort of like the Internet in that, isn't it?  You can't see it, hear it, smell it, taste or touch it.  It's just there somewhere with no shape or sound -- influencing almost every aspect of your life.  Sort of creepy really. I also noticed that I used the word "please" when interacting with Chat GPT. Why?  I mean what am I "talking' to? That is sort of creepy too.

Now here is the sentence that I wrote:

           For me it was like discovering a 20 dollar bill in the pocket of a pair of jeans               that I hadn't worn in six months.    

Personally I like my words better, but AI writes faster and way better than I expected and that is in some way disappointing to me.  Would love to know what you think about this whole thing. You tell me... please.  

Next week-- just one more question for AI and then I am going to stop writing about it. At least that's the plan. Am still hoping that a human being has more personality than an entity that no one I know totally understands. I prefer human potential.
