I recently found out about this app called ChatGPT(a chatbot just launched) and curiosity pushed me to try it, so I wanted to put it to the test. I asked it to write a poem in English in the manner of the great Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu.
This is what I received:
“Request: Write a poem in Eminescu’s style
Golden rays of sunrise
Paint the sky with crimson light
And a soft breeze whispers by
Carrying scents of morning bright
The woods stand silent, tall and proud
Their branches reach for heaven’s height
While birds sing sweet, a symphonic crowd
Their melodies carried on the light
And in this stillness, I reflect
On life’s uncertain, fleeting show
For all its beauty, what effect
Will it have when all we know
Has vanished, like the morning dew
And like the sun, we’ll set at night
But in the hearts of those we knew
Our memory will forever shine bright. “
This made me feel a combination of surprise and fear, but at the same time I found it impressive how an app can create something in which a human puts so much his feelings.
So it seems that now we have Eminescu in the ChatGPT version!
