Here's the third and final installment in my series on what Chat GPT can do in a Social Security context.
Request: Write a 10 line poem in blank verse on the subject of Social Security
Chat GPT Response:
Amidst life's journey, a safety net unfurls,
Social Security, a promise held firm.
A shelter for the elders, time's weathered crew,
Their toil remembered, their dignity due.
A woven tapestry of care and grace,
Support in twilight years, a steadfast embrace.
Contributions sown as seeds for the age,
Harvested in retirement, a just wage.
Through cycles and years, its shield endures,
Social Security, a nation's pledge secures
I'd call this impressive. Of course, if you read anything about Chat GPT you’ll quickly learn about the app’s ability to write poetry. For me, I couldn't write even one couplet in blank verse. One of the questions I ask my clients is "Do you have any hobbies?" It never ceases to amaze me that a not insignificant number of people answer "Writing poetry" and some of those people lack even a high school education. I think there's a poetry gene that I didn't inherit.

ReplyDeletecharles you are the best :)
ReplyDeleteCharles, be glad you can work instead of being able to write poetry.
ReplyDeleteBlank verse isn't supposed to rhyme, so that's a fail.
ReplyDeleteAsk it to write on the same subject in tetrameter (eight syllables per line rather than ten). It would probably fail that, too.
I suspect most of those people who write poetry as a hobby also lack a poetry gene.
