I tried it with the poetry question. I had to change the prompt a bit otherwise ChatGPT just gives a typical midwit answer.

Q: Why do most people seem to hold poetry and poets in high esteem yet have approximately zero interest in reading any poetry ever? Give me a humorous response

ChatGPT Response: Well, perhaps it's because people just love the idea of poetry more than the actual act of reading it. You know, it's kind of like how people love the idea of exercising and eating healthy, but actually doing it is another matter entirely. Or maybe it's because people just love the way that poets look in their berets and turtleneck sweaters, all brooding and deep in thought. Or maybe it's because people just love the way that poetry sounds when it's being read aloud by someone with a really pretentious accent. Who knows? The mysteries of human behavior can be strange and elusive at times.


That's a really great idea to make it fun. I will try that. I tried to ask for simplified answers but there were only slight differences!


Is that midwit, it seems relatively insightful to make that analogy.


No, that's the response after I added the "Be humorous" thing.

Prior to that, it was giving me midwit responses (I didn't post those in the comment.)


How long until I can use ChatGPT to replace myself in social gatherings? It's probably a better conversationalist too.


Anyone with a GoogleGlass willing to tell us?
