Did you think I was going to go on an Valentine’s rant?
Well …
Maybe, as a poet, I should pen an anti-Valentine’s poem.
Well …
Is there too much pressure on Valentine’s day? If you are in a relationship, do you stress coming up with the perfect gift, dinner, gesture to show your affection in a way you couldn’t (or didn’t) since the first time you met?
Are the businesses rubbing their hands together because this is the biggest spending day outside of … Christmas? Thanksgiving? Super Bowl parties?
Can a writer in a room come up with the best words to describe your feelings?
Maybe I should ask ChatGPT to write a poem about love?
I did. and this is what I got (for real):
C: ChatGPT is currently down
H: Huge demand has caused the site to crash
A: All users will have to wait
T: Time is needed for the servers to catch up
G: Go grab a coffee and check back soon
P: Patience is key in this situation
T: Trust that the team is working hard to fix it up
Apparently, I wasn’t the only one desperately trying to come up with a poem that I could pass off as my own.
So, who loves ya?
ChatBot, baby.
