Are You Tired of Artificial Intelligence Apps and Their Impacts? Chat GPT stands out among these apps by creating works of writing based on prompts for topic and style; making this interactive app enjoyable to use!
But will AI-generated garden writing ever catch on? It’s worth testing. When asked to write about tropical plants in Cockney slang, the result was mostly generic except for one statement which stated “[In] Cockney slang, taking care of tropical plants is known as ‘looking after greenhouse nippers.]'”
How to Plant a Tree HipHop Style” provided standard tree-planting instructions as well as more quirky instructions such as “give the tree some love and positive vibes akin to a rap lyric” and “represent the tree through rhymes and lyrics to share its message – pretty lame but effective.
My prompts on “how to prune hydrangeas” and “designing a townhouse garden” yielded generic yet accurate answers – too boring to include here.
“How to Water Houseplants in the Style of Shakespeare,” was quite entertaining; not only was “thy” used throughout, such as “Fill they watering can” – but there were also some helpful philosophical points such as: “Tend to them with Love as They Bring Beauty Easily into Thy Home,” as well as: “Thus shall Thy Plants Prosper and Grow Fair and Strong Like Trees!”
Here’s “How to Water Houseplants Melville-Style::::”:
Be gentle as you fill thy watering vessel. Plunge measured quantities into it as though feeding the earth, letting water slowly flow from it, penetrating deep and penetrating deeper still into soil layers. Allow excess to run off rather than stay behind and become wasted.
Keep a careful watch over how often and how often you water, as overwatering is a potentially deadly threat. Checking the leaves, and if they begin to droop, water with all your might immediately. Furthermore, they require light and air in order to thrive properly; be mindful that they add beauty and charm to nature’s garden! Tending to them carefully brings out nature’s magic!
With love and care, your houseplants will flourish day by day.
All are testing Chat GPT, including the literary hosts of Slate Culture Gabfest – including their often hard-to-please hosts who are particularly critical. But on this episode they were quite enthusiastic in their assessment, calling Chat GPT capable of producing “decently cogent college-style essays.” When given instructions to write five paragraphs about Wordsworth poems for high school or freshman college classes he declared it worthy of either an A+ or B+ grade; another prompt – comparing two philosophers – produced “a quality paper worthy for sophomore classes at top colleges.” And this from someone who’s taught English classes at such institutions!
Behold! No wonder there is alarm in academia over this app.
On the negative side, Slate’s film critic revealed outrageously inaccurate statements made by the app concerning film history.
Podcasters were effusive in their praise of Chat GPT’s press-release writing capabilities. I tried using Chat GPT myself and was thoroughly impressed. If ever needed again, if any press releases require writing again I plan on starting from Chat GPT’s version and altering as necessary.
So will we see garden writing from Chat GPT? Absolutely. Content mills already publish articles so generic and inaccurate we question if they were created using artificial intelligence – Chat GPT will save them money while producing accurate articles at scale.
