Nature’s Canvas: My ChatGPT Poem About Plentywood, Montana

I've always been very skeptical and leery of things like ChatGPT and artificial intelligence software. Plus, I'm a cheapskate- so I didn't want to have to sign up and pay for a new service.

But on Tuesday morning, I was interviewing Dr. Robert Marks. He is with the Discovery Institute, he's an engineering professor at Baylor University, and he'll be in Montana this weekend speaking about AI from a Christian worldview perspective.

Right while I was LIVE on the radio in the middle of our statewide show talking with Dr. Marks, he talked about asking ChatGPT to write a poem. So while he was talking, I ended up quickly logging on to ChatGPT and asking the AI software "write a poem about plentywood montana."

No, I did not use capital letters or punctuation. That's all I entered, and here's what it spit out- in seconds.

In Plentywood's embrace, fields stretch wide, Montana's beauty, in every stride. Golden plains under endless sky, Nature's canvas, reaching high.

Whispers of wind through prairie grass, In Plentywood, moments will amass. Small-town charm, community strong, Where echoes of history belong.

Pioneer spirit, resilient and true, Mountains in the distance, a majestic view. Plentywood, a gem in Montana's crown, A place where quiet moments abound.

I figured it was time I finally messed around with ChatGPT. Plus, Dr. Marks told me that the platform has actually gotten much better in the last few months. You may recall that last year ChatGPT was being accused of pushing a liberal, "woke" bias with its responses. Dr. Marks says the platform has improved significantly.
