ChatGPT and AI - Maybe we and Second Life are Safe? (news)

[Innula Zenovka]

I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about the Second Life Forums.   With no further prompting, it produced this:

Quote

In the realm of Second Life's digital domain,
Where avatars gather, minds intertwine,
There exists a space, a virtual terrain,
Where thoughts and ideas gracefully align.

Welcome to the forums, a bustling hive,
Where voices unite, discussions thrive,
A virtual agora, where words take flight,
In this realm of words, both day and night.

Within these threads, a vibrant tapestry,
Woven with wisdom, curiosity, and glee,
Avatars, diverse, from lands far and wide,
Sharing experiences, with passion as their guide.

From newcomers seeking guidance and care,
To veterans, their knowledge they graciously share,
Questions, answers, in a symphony of exchange,
A wealth of information, a knowledge range.

Here, artistry flourishes, creativity unfurls,
In galleries of imagination, where talent swirls,
Painters, sculptors, photographers too,
Showcasing their works, unveiling something new.

For fashion enthusiasts, a stylish domain,
Threads filled with trends, garments to obtain,
Designers and shoppers, engaged in delight,
Crafting looks that shine, bringing joy to the sight.

Roleplayers immerse in narratives profound,
Weaving stories, adventures that astound,
Collaborating with fellow storytellers bold,
Unveiling epic sagas, tales to be told.

Yet, amidst the camaraderie and lively cheer,
Differences arise, opinions appear,
Debates and discussions spark like fire,
In the forum's arena, where minds aspire.

Respect and understanding guide the way,
As perspectives clash, and viewpoints sway,
A melting pot of thoughts, diverse and strong,
Where dialogue flourishes, and bridges prolong.

So, embrace the Second Life forums, my friend,
Where community thrives, boundaries transcend,
A virtual agora, where connections are made,
In this digital tapestry, where dreams never fade.

Fancy! It managed to work a couple relevant topic keywords in there. Virtual, Fashion, Roleplay, Newcomers, Shoppers.  Possibly chose from a Forum "word cloud" equivalent (choose words to use based on most frequently used words).

I see 2 odd things:

- Use of a word that TBH is not familiar to me, "agora" (looked it up)

- Repetition of "Domain" (hard to avoid in poetry sometimes).

For comparison, I set Google's Bard the same task:

The Second Life Forums

Where people gather to share their woes, And their triumphs too, I suppose. Where they can find a friend or two, Or a place to vent their rage anew.

Where they can ask questions and get help, About anything from how to build, To how to find a good place to dwell, Or how to make some Lindens gild.

Where they can create and share their art, And show off their creations with pride. Where they can find a place to start, Or a place to go when they've run out of time.

The Second Life Forums, A place for all, a place for none. A place to learn, a place to grow, A place to be, and to let go.

Although less overtly "word-cloud-y", I liked Google's poem more:

- More pithy / more succinct

- Less word salad-y

- More rhyme, or at least more obvious rhymes by being more succinct

On the "CON" side, I thought the Forums reference was missing ANY relevant words.  Not even a word salad crouton.

Somewhere in the 1800's, poetry was written on a mechanical typewriter in the bleak flickering light from a smoky coal fire and some candles...

A typewriter from Liverpool
Was openly camp and uncool
It wrote ancient words
'bout some bees and some birds
Then got cancelled and sent back to school
