    Wake up, little sunshine

    I prompted ChatGPT with: “Write a song I can sing to my son to get him awake and moving to get ready for school.”

    It replied with:

    Verse 1
    Wake up, little sunshine
    There’s a new day dawning
    You’ve got a big adventure
    It’s time to get moving

    Chorus
    Rise and shine, let’s go to school
    Time to learn, time to grow
    Put on your shoes, grab your bag
    You’re ready to go

    Verse 2
    Stretch out your arms and legs
    Take a deep breath and smile
    You’ll make new friends today
    And learn so much in a while

    Chorus
    Rise and shine, let’s go to school
    Time to learn, time to grow
    Put on your shoes, grab your bag
    You’re ready to go

    Bridge
    The world is waiting for you
    To see all that you can do
    So let’s start this day together
    And make it great, no matter the weather

    Chorus
    Rise and shine, let’s go to school
    Time to learn, time to grow
    Put on your shoes, grab your bag
    You’re ready to go

    Outro
    Wake up, little sunshine
    It’s time to start your day
    With a bright new adventure
    You’ll find your own way.

    Said son, who is 15, seemed to appreciate me waking him up by belting this out in full operatic tenor. I’m almost sure of it, despite any shouting to the contrary.

    A Boston Terrier Married a Cat

    I prompted ChatGPT: “Write a Shakespearean sonnet about a Boston terrier marrying a cat.”

    It replied:

    “Oh, wondrous sight! A terrier and cat
    In love, declaring bonds that none can break
    Though some may scoff, and others may bark flat
    Their love is true, not just a mere mistake

    The terrier, bold and loyal as can be
    Protects his feline bride with all his might
    And she, with purrs and nuzzles, shows with glee
    That this odd couple won’t give up the fight

    They nap together, groom each other’s fur
    And playfully chase one another around
    To some, their pairing might seem quite absurd
    But their love for each other knows no bound

    So let them wed, and let their love be strong
    For true love, no matter who, can’t be wrong”

    Our inevitable robot overlords can write delightful poetry. We’re in trouble.
