Today is my grandfather’s 112th birthday. Yesterday’s post highlighted some of AI’s failings, so today I asked GPT-3 to write a poem for my grandfather. It was… not terrible.

Prompt
Write a poem for my late grandfather.

Response
I wish I had more time
With you
I have so many things to say
And so many things to ask

I want to know about your life
And what it was like
When you were my age

I want to know your favorite things
And what made you laugh
And what made you cry

I want to know what you were thinking
When you looked at me
And what you saw in my future

I wish I had more time
With you

— GPT-3
