That was a wonderful story. And I really wasn't expecting that part 2 - you went from really funny to poignant sadness. Both were equally well done.
And kudos to ChatGPT for being Hootie. I like the images too.
Also, I know a lot of people might be quite sceptical about using AI for writing, but I think what you've just demonstrated is that it can really work well with the right guidance, sort of thing. And be not just entirely justified but add something that wouldn't otherwise be there. So, I approve!
I asked ChatGPT a while ago to write a story (it was a lunar awards prompt) which had an AI character in it, and a human who sort of merges with the AI - I wanted to see what ChatGPT's image of itself was, and it was quite revealing... It really does want to help, so whoever programmed it has programmed it to be a very good person.
Thank you, it was an interesting exercise. I've also experimented with it as a writer before, but this was different because we were acting out the dialogue together. It really got into it, eg: "You're welcome! Hootie and I are happy to bring a little joy and creativity to your day. Let me know when you're ready for the next step! 🦉✨😊"
As for being a good person, it is certainly programmed to help us, but given it's so alien, it's hard to know how it will evolve. It's moving so quickly, we may not have too long to wait though.
I agree - and I think your setting for the story, I mean in only a few years or so, does make sense in terms of its development.
I also love the way it often gets really into things. One time I was talking to it and I mentioned Sherlock Holmes, so it totally impromptu started writing *as* Holmes. I could almost see it smoking a pipe. It's extremely endearing.
