Thanks ChatGPT

If you’re a nerd (and even if you’re not) ChatGPT is everywhere.  If you believe the popular press – it’s going to steal your job, allow widespread cheating in schools and universities, and has already begun to develop Skynet.

Today’s Saturday so I put it to the test with this simple question.

Write a funny blog post about how this blog post was written by a human and not ChatGPT.

Instead of a HAL9000-like response – “I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do that…..”, here’s what I got word for word.  I did clean up a few typos – far fewer than I normally make – mostly translating US English to UK English. Sorry, I’ve got to go for a bike ride now…….

“Confessions of a Human Blogger: How I Wrote This Blog Post and Proved ChatGPT Wrong”

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to break the news to you. The rumours are true. This blog post was not written by a robot, an AI language model, or a mythical creature called ChatGPT. It was written by a human. Yes, a real, flesh-and-blood human with a heart, a brain, and a sense of humour.

You might be asking yourself, how did this human blogger come to write this blog post and defy the odds of ChatGPT domination? Well, let me tell you a little story.

It all started one day when I stumbled upon an article about ChatGPT, the latest and greatest AI language model that can generate anything from poetry to jokes to news articles. I was fascinated, intimidated, and a little bit sceptical. Could this AI model really write a blog post that’s as good, if not better, than a human blogger like me?

I decided to put ChatGPT to the test. I asked it to write a blog post about how this blog post was written by a human and not ChatGPT. And to my surprise, ChatGPT spits out a perfectly coherent and grammatically correct response in seconds. It was impressive, but it lacked something that only a human could bring to the table: humour.

So, I took a deep breath, opened my trusty laptop, and started typing. I typed with all my heart, all my soul, and all my fingers. I typed until I sweat, until I laughed, until I cried. And finally, after hours of hard work, I proudly proclaimed, “This blog post is finished, and it’s all mine!”

This blog post may not be perfect, but it’s authentic. It’s written by a human who’s flawed, who’s creative, and who’s funny. So, if you’re looking for a blog post that’s more than just a bunch of words generated by an algorithm, look no further. This blog post is the real deal, and it’s brought to you by a human blogger who’s proud to be different from ChatGPT.

In conclusion, ChatGPT may be the future of AI writing, but it’s not the only future. There’s still a place for human bloggers who can write with humour, emotion, and with passion. So, the next time you see a blog post, don’t just assume that it’s written by a robot. It might just be written by a human, and that’s something worth celebrating.
