AI is taking over the written word it seems. While trying to remain at least marginally informed in our ever-changing technical world, I can’t help but be at least curious as to the benefits (?) that AI could bring.
With that in mind, I have taken the liberty of inputting my entire first page of this new adventure to ChatGPT. The text below is how IT re-wrote my verbage. Please let me know what you think. Email me at DyrekL@shaw.ca. Looking it over, my own take is that it is VASTLY different. And yes, it is only one AI version. There are too many to try them all so I thought I would go with the very first one (and perhaps the most well-known). Although it has some interesting turns of phrase, I just can’t see myself writing like this or even using it to do more for me. But…that’s just me. Maybe your thoughts are different. (…hearts rejoice?? Really???)
Embarking on this new journey promises an array of adventures, each laden with its own unique thrill.
First and foremost, we’re setting sail on a new vessel – The Majestic Princess. A jewel crafted in 2017, it proudly joins the esteemed Princess Royal Class fleet. While familiar in essence to the Emerald, Royal, and Regal ships we’ve traversed before, it tantalizes us with fresh culinary delights. Despite our jest about needing more dining options, we’re eager to explore the innovative gastronomic offerings. Two standout venues, conceived by Michelin-starred chefs, await our palate’s pleasure. Surely, they’ll merit not just one, but multiple visits. And our hearts rejoice knowing that amidst these novelties, our beloved Vines still graces the ship’s deck.
Secondly, this voyage marks our inaugural journey as Elite Status passengers. No need for trumpets and fanfare, but the perks of loyalty do bring a smile. The prospect of complimentary laundry service, particularly cherished by my dear wife, adds an extra layer of joy. After all, a happy spouse makes for a contented life, and that sentiment has me beaming as well.
Thirdly, it’s a departure past the eastern expanses of Ontario, a region we’ve regrettably neglected in our travels. While it may not constitute a grand atonement, it’s a step towards rectifying that oversight, one port at a time.
Fourthly, venturing down the eastern seaboard of North America marks another first for us. While we’ve explored the sun-kissed shores of L.A., San Francisco, and San Diego, the eastern frontier has remained uncharted territory. Anticipation brews for the adventures that lie ahead, as we traverse landscapes unexplored and weave tales anew along this unfamiliar coast.
I cannot believe it re-worded “happy wife, happy life” to “a happy spouse makes for a contented life”. AI does some amazing things but I learned during the last book that the editing has to be spot on when AI is involved… and a whole lot more fact checking.
I am not much for writing and have never polished these skills. I tend to agree with Larry. So when does adventure take place ?Leo
This comment is for ChatGPT … not for Dyrek. I think Dyrek writes better than you!!!!
