I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Obama and then one about Trump

Create a poem about Obama:

"In the halls of power, he once roamed, A leader with a vision to be shown, His voice rang out, clear and true, Barack Obama, our president anew.

With hope and change, he captured hearts, And set a course for a brand new start, With eloquence and grace, he led the way, And inspired us all, day after day.

From the streets of Chicago, he rose, With a dream of justice, that never froze, He worked hard, with grit and might, To build a future that shone so bright.

With humility and strength, he faced each test, And fought for the rights of the oppressed, He brought us closer, as a nation, And left an indelible mark, on our generation.

As time moves on, his legacy remains, A beacon of hope, that never wanes, Barack Obama, a name to remember, A leader, a hero, an inspiration, forever."

Create a poem about Donald Trump:

"A man of wealth, a man of fame, Donald Trump, a name to claim, A business mogul, with a brand to sell, A bold persona, that many would tell.

With words that cut, and tweets that sting, He rose to power, with a populist ring, His rhetoric loud, his promises grand, He vowed to make America great, with a firm hand.

But his actions spoke, louder than his words, And his policies often seemed absurd, He belittled foes, and praised himself, And made decisions, with little else.

With chaos and controversy, he led, And left a trail of lies, that many would dread, He sowed division, and stoked hate, And left a nation, in a bitter state.

As time moves on, his legacy fades, A reminder of a time, that many would evade, Donald Trump, a name of infamy, A leader, a villain, a cautionary tale, in history."

Now there are those that would say that ChatGPT has a liberal bias. No, it doesn't make political judgements, it's model has simply been fed a vast amount of information, far more than any person could ever consume, and this is it's judgements based upon that information. I think this is a pretty decent picture of how history will judge the two men once we are all dead and gone.

I don't think AI is taking over the arts anytime soon.

ChatGPT has no actual creativity. It has an understanding what a poem is supposed to look like and what words belong together. And that is all it builds on.

That's great

Now Hallmark can fire their entire writing staff.

Well, it's a little more than that. It also has a very sophisticated logic engine to evaluate information and present it in a logical manner. Otherwise, it's poems or anything else it writes would just be gibberish.

It does have some creativity too. I have noticed that at times when I ask for code examples, it can give me some modules back that logically should be available, but are not. For example, ask it to write an API in PowerShell Core that returns JSON and accepts query parameters. It will generate what looks like a really good code example. However, it will add in a couple of modules that don't exist.

When you then ask it about the modules that don't actually exist, it will apologize.

We have better programming mdules for poetry than ChatGPT does. Certainly Shakespeare, Milton, Coleridge, Dickenson, Frost, and Browning did.

The Poems aren't bad. I'm impressed.

It's kind of fun to have it write things for you. For example, you can tell it some facts about yourself or someone else, and say, "write a story about this person in the style of Cormac McCarthy"

The real impressive thing to me is how fast it can just whip this stuff out. Quite impressive. In a way it's scary too. I believe some jobs and livelihoods may be in jeopardy. Clearly AI is a game changer.

I don't think it's good enough yet to replace many jobs yet, but in a few more years, maybe.

It's pretty handy for translating code examples. For example, you can have a legacy code snippet in Ruby, give it that and ask it to write it in Go or C# using the dotnet core framework and it usually does a very good job of doing it, and not only that, it will comment its code examples for you.

Just as a comparison, I asked it to write a poem about Ronald Reagan:

"
In the heart of the USA, A leader stood tall, day by day. His voice so clear, his smile so bright, Ronald Reagan, a beacon of light.

From actor to governor to president, His journey was marked by steadfast commitment. He brought an end to the Cold War, And brought hope to the people, forevermore.

His love for freedom, his love for nation, Inspired a generation to fight for salvation. His words still ring, his legacy endures, A champion of liberty, strong and pure.

Though his time on earth has come to pass, His spirit lives on, in every heart and class. For Ronald Reagan, the Gipper, the Great, Will always be remembered, in our fate."
As you can see, it's a nice poem about him. So its really just making a judgement about Trump on information about him, its not anti-Republican.

But we're in serious trouble when AI replaces teachers. Then we're talking about the big question - who controls AI ? Try going to a school board meeting and argue with a robot.
