#2This is such good writing: it's thoughtful, incisive, and revealing. Before long, AI will probably be able to produce something similar, but meantime, I'm savoring that special feeling you get as a reader when a writer's words resonate deeply with you.

#3The most annoying things about generative pre-trained transformers is that everyone has some opinion on it, which they think is special or profound in some way.
I am sick of having to filter out internet e-celebrity number 48320's opinion on it from my front page on every single website.

#4I susspect there is something different at play which resulted in tears. Let me guess: deep down there, they were crying because an AI wrote that emotional poem, and not the parent themselves... But thats an insight nobody really wants to know I guess.

Kottke literally addresses that.
> When you’re really in your feelings, even the worst movie or the cheesiest song can resonate with you and move you — just the tiniest bit of narrative and sentiment can send you over the edge. ChatGPT didn’t really make me cry…I did.

#10> And when I read the last line, I burst into tears. So does that make ChatGPT a soulful poet of rare ability? No. I’ve thought a lot about this and here’s what I think is going on: I was primed for an emotional response (…) and ChatGPT used the language and methods of thousands of years of writing
But that’s what’s humans do, don’t they? I’m not a poet, but if I wanted to become one, I can hardly think of way that wouldn’t involve reading a lot of stuff written by others.
