ChatGPT: "Write a 16-line, 4-verse poem about Donald Trump getting indicted"

[Rachel M at 6 pm]

ChatGPT stip this out in literally 10 seconds.

I said, "Write a 16-line, 4-verse poem about Donald Trump getting indicted" and ChatGPT replied with:

Amidst the chaos and political strife,
There came a news that shook the nation's life.
Donald Trump, the former president, was indicted,
For crimes he may have committed, unrequited.

The charges were many, the evidence strong,
The wheels of justice had been churning all along.
His supporters rallied, calling it a witch hunt,
But the truth, they say, is hard to confront.

The world watched as the trial began,
The fate of a man, once so grand.
But justice is blind, and it must prevail,
Even if the outcome makes some wail.

In the end, the verdict was clear,
Donald Trump was guilty, his future unclear.
The lesson learned, no one is above the law,
No matter how powerful, they must answer for all.

EDITED TO ADD: I got the idea after seeing brettdale's ChatGPT song...

1. A poem by a real human would be much more interesting.

ChatGPT will mindlessly churn out mediocre text on almost any subject, and RWers can use it to generate text mocking or defaming Democrats.

It does that courtesy of millions of pages of text ripped off from humans, without permission or compensation.

Btw, if you give the exact same prompt to it again, you'll get something different.

And what it gave you might show up anywhere around the world in response to a slightly different prompt from someone else.

It isn't a poet.

And it definitely isn't a liberal poet.

2. This certainly isn't high art

Many human beings, however, lack the talent to churn out even doggerel like this. The capabilities demonstrated here shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

3. Humans won't develop talent unless they try. They're less likely

to try if they're busy playing with an AI they think makes them creative or clever.

This is the bait the companies pushing AI hope will not only get consumers to pay for that AI, but also to side with the manufacturers of that AI in their legal battles against the humans whose work was ripped off.

The people at OpenAI knew, for instance, that students would use it to cheat. They didn't give a damn what that would do to education.

They released it for free to get people hooked.

They're not promising to keep it free indefinitely, even the basic version. They're planning higher tiers of subscriptions above the $20/mo ChatGPT Plus costs now.

They want nothing more than millions of consumers who think they need ChatGPT to write.

And the more people use it to write, the more they'll be dependent on it.

4. Which program did you use to

Do it? Link? Is it free?

5. Here's the link. Yes it's free

6. Thanks 😀 You have to create an account to use it

Not gonna do that. Plus that usually means they’re going to try and charge you for it eventually.

[highplainsdem]

7. Yes, they are. And any input you give it might turn up in ChatGPT's output

later, elsewhere, which is why some companies are ordering their employees not to put anything about the business into ChatGPT.

8. Lol

That makes sense. I guess it would be harder to sue them or for other issues maybe.

[highplainsdem]

9. These companies warn people to expect inaccuracies, to expect AI to just make things up

and present it as fact. They tell people to fact-check everything and not rely on AI for anything important. They're hoping that will save them from any legal liability.

And some like OpenAI are now trying to keep their datasets secret to make it harder to sue them for theft of art and intellectual property.

10. If they are actually using other people's art

work it should be fairly easy to see that though? One thing I noticed about the images that are created is they all look kind of blurry so it looks like they take someone else’s image online and they make it blurry or something, lol. If this site where easier to post images on without using another site to do it I would post some of them here.

This type of thing has been going on for a long time… I heard several years ago there was a scandal where a lot of Chinese companies or entities were stealing images of artworks from artists on their websites, and elsewhere, and posting them on sites to make money off of them. I’m not sure how they were making money off of them though.

11. William McGonagall would be proud
