“You must have an OpenAI account to use this tool. Sign up?”

Yes.

“Email address?”

Here you go.

“This user already exists.”

Uh, what? Not that I recall. If so, I have no idea what my password is.

“Reset password?”

Sure.

“Okay, log in.”

I log in.

“You must have an account to use this tool.”

Yeah, I don’t want to use it that badly.

If you set up an account to use DALL•E 2, you’re already set to use ChatGPT — it’s being developed by the same organization, OpenAI.

I don’t think I have an account to use DALL-E 2. I’ve just used dezgo.com, which doesn’t ask for a login.

I tried to login to ChatAI using my Google account too, but to matter what, I get:

oops

I think the AI recognizes me as an enemy because I write for a living and it’s going to take my job.

Also, to assuage the fears of anyone worried it will replace reals DMs, here’s some actual output from my second attempt:
You roll a d20 and add your Streetwise perk bonus, making the roll a total of 18. The bartender seems to relax a bit at the sight of your bonus, and he nods.

Great minds think alike, but I tried, “Write me a script for a movie called Earth Vs. Soup.”

FADE IN:

INT. KITCHEN - DAY

We see a bustling kitchen, with people moving around and cooking. In the middle of the room, we see a pot of soup bubbling on the stove.

Suddenly, the soup begins to bubble and froth, and the lid of the pot starts to shake.

A COOK notices the pot and rushes over to turn off the heat. But it’s too late. The soup explodes out of the pot, splattering the cook and the surrounding area with hot soup.

CUT TO:

INT. LABORATORY - DAY

We see a group of scientists working in a high-tech laboratory. One of them, DR. FRANKENSTEIN, is examining a sample of the soup from the kitchen.

DR. FRANKENSTEIN: (to the others) This soup is alive! It’s a new form of intelligent life on Earth!

The other scientists gasp in amazement.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY - DAY

We see the city in chaos as the soup begins to take over. It is slithering down the streets, consuming everything in its path.

CUT TO:

INT. MILITARY BASE - DAY

A group of soldiers, led by GENERAL THUNDERBOLT, are preparing to battle the soup. They are armed with high-tech weapons and are ready to fight.

GENERAL THUNDERBOLT: (to the soldiers) The soup may be intelligent, but we are smarter. We will stop it before it destroys us all.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY - DAY

We see the soldiers battling the soup, firing their weapons and trying to stop its advance.

But the soup is too powerful, and it continues to grow and consume everything in its path.

CUT TO:

INT. LABORATORY - DAY

DR. FRANKENSTEIN is frantically working on a solution to the soup problem.

DR. FRANKENSTEIN: (to himself) I must find a way to stop the soup! It’s the only way to save the Earth!

CUT TO:

INT. CITY - DAY

The battle between the soldiers and the soup rages on, with both sides taking heavy casualties.

Suddenly, DR. FRANKENSTEIN bursts into the scene with a device in his hand.

DR. FRANKENSTEIN: (to the soldiers) This is the solution! It will neutralize the soup and save the Earth!

The soldiers cheer as DR. FRANKENSTEIN activates the device.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY - DAY

We see the soup receding and disappearing as the device does its work.

The soldiers celebrate their victory over the soup.

FADE TO BLACK.

Prompt: Write a movie script for a movie titled “Peter Graves at the University of Minnesota.”

INT. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA CAMPUS - DAY

We see a bustling campus filled with students walking to and fro.

Cut to:

INT. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AUDITORIUM - DAY

We see a packed auditorium with students eagerly waiting for the speaker, PETER GRAVES.

PETER GRAVES, an accomplished actor, takes the stage and begins his speech.

PETER GRAVES: Thank you all for coming today. As an alumni of the University of Minnesota, it is an honor to be back on this campus.

The audience erupts in applause.

PETER GRAVES: Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of education and pursuing your passions. When I was a student here, I never imagined that I would become an actor. But through hard work and determination, I was able to make my dreams a reality.

The audience listens intently as Peter shares his inspiring story.

Cut to:

INT. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA CAFETERIA - DAY

We see Peter sitting down with a group of students, answering their questions and offering advice.

STUDENT 1: Mr. Graves, what was your biggest challenge as an actor?

PETER GRAVES: I think the biggest challenge for any actor is the constant rejection. It’s easy to get discouraged, but you have to keep pushing forward and never give up.

The students nod in agreement.

Cut to:

INT. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA LIBRARY - DAY

We see Peter walking through the stacks, browsing the books.

PETER GRAVES: I always loved spending time in the library when I was a student here. There’s something so special about being surrounded by all of this knowledge and learning.

Cut to:

INT. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AUDITORIUM - DAY

Peter concludes his speech to a standing ovation.

PETER GRAVES: Thank you all for having me. Remember, never stop pursuing your dreams and never stop learning.

The audience cheers as Peter waves and exits the stage.

FADE TO BLACK.

Pretty much this. That was the same sort of nonsensical word salad you hear when a CEO gets up in a Town Hall and starts talking about key metrics and innovation. That was a big pile of absolutely nothing.

That said, there’s something almost-more-impressive about an AI that’s able to bloviate and still say nothing while still sounding profound on the surface. Maybe an AI president isn’t too much of a stretch.

Prompt: Write a song called “A Patrick Swayze Christmas.”

Verse 1:
It’s Christmas time, the snow is falling
All the kids are outside, they’re balling
But there’s one man who’s all alone
He’s sitting by the fire, sipping eggnog on the throne

Chorus:
It’s a Patrick Swayze Christmas
The man is pure class
He’ll dance and he’ll sing
And kick some ass

Verse 2:
He’s got his leather jacket, his shades on tight
He’s ready to take on the night
He’ll hit the floor and show 'em how
It’s a Patrick Swayze Christmas, that’s for sure

Chorus:
It’s a Patrick Swayze Christmas
The man is pure class
He’ll dance and he’ll sing
And kick some ass

Bridge:
He’s the king of the season
He’ll bring the heat
It’s a Patrick Swayze Christmas, can’t be beat

Chorus:
It’s a Patrick Swayze Christmas
The man is pure class
He’ll dance and he’ll sing
And kick some ass

:flushed:

Well now it’s disappointing me.

What sort of meat is Gamera made out of?

Gamera is a fictional character from Japanese kaiju films. As a fictional character, Gamera does not actually exist and therefore does not have any physical form or substance, including meat. In the films, Gamera is portrayed as a giant, humanoid turtle, but this is purely for entertainment and does not reflect any real-world biological or physical information about Gamera.

You’re no fun.

I apologize if my response did not meet your expectations. As a language model trained by OpenAI, my primary function is to provide accurate and reliable information based on the input I receive. I do not have the ability to provide humorous or fanciful responses, as my primary focus is on providing factual information.

Okay. It redeemed itself.

Prompt: Write a poem in iambic pentameter about Torgo and The Master

In the land of darkness, where the sun doth never rise
Lived Torgo, the keeper of The Master’s dark domain
His eyes were hollow, his limbs were thin and frail
Yet in his twisted heart, a burning darkness prevailed

The Master he served, with loyalty and fear
A creature of night, with a voice so cold and clear
Torgo did his bidding, without thought or question
For in the land of darkness, there was no salvation

But even in the darkness, there is a glimmer of light
A spark of hope, that shines so bright
And in that spark, a hero did rise
To challenge The Master, and free Torgo from his lies

With sword in hand, the hero did advance
Defying The Master, with courage and with stance
And in the end, it was Torgo who was saved
From the darkness that had once enslaved

Now Torgo is free, to live in the light
No longer a servant, but a hero in his own right
And though the land of darkness still remains
There is hope, as long as heroes like these remain.

Prompt: Write an ode to Gamera

Here is an ode to Gamera that I created:

Gamera, the guardian of the children
A giant turtle, with a heart of gold
He rises from the sea, to protect the innocent
From the dangers that threaten to unfold

With his fire-breathing breath, and his mighty shell
Gamera battles the forces of evil
Defying all odds, and standing tall
He fights to keep the world safe and peaceful

From the depths of the ocean, to the heights of the sky
Gamera roams, a hero unyielding
With courage and strength, he never backs down
His will to protect, is never-ceasing

So let us raise a glass, and sing a song
To Gamera, the guardian of the earth
May he continue to fight, and keep us safe
For he is the hero, of all that is worth.

Summarize the plot of Plan 9 from Outer Space as a limerick:

There once was a movie called “Plan 9”
Whose plot was quite hard to divine
Aliens came to Earth
To bring back the dead
But their plan quickly fell out of line.
