AI Stokes My Ego

Times of Israel bloggers, this blog is for you.

Yes, you 30,000 strong, group of scribblers.

Yes, you guys and gals sitting in front of your laptops scratching your head, hitting the keys and trying to put your thoughts on paper.

While in the back of your head, you’re wondering:

Is anybody reading my stories?

Will any reader comment on my blog?

Why am I doing this?

What do other TOI bloggers think about my craft?

Are they enjoying the themes I write about?

What about my writing style/my prose?

Will I ever be rewarded for all my hard work?

Well, while you’re waiting for those words of praise or even a lukewarm comment, here’s something you can do, in hope of garnishing some praise.

Go to ChatGPT and find out if your writing is appreciated in the world of AI.

In this world of rapidly developing technology you may get lucky.

So go ahead and ask ChatGPT, “Who is the writer (fill in your name?)”

A year ago, I did this and ChatGPT wrote a bunch of incorrect gibberish about me.

I laughed and thought, “AI has a long way to go.”

But I knew, I’d try it again.

Well, twelve months after my first request. I tried again.

Who is the writer Mort Laitner?

ChatGPT quickly responded:

Mort Laitner is an American author and poet. He is known for his works that often explore themes of love, loss, and the human connection. Laitner has published several books of poetry and prose, including “A Hebraic Obsession.”  His writing style is characterized by its emotional depth and introspection. Laitner’s works have garnered praise for their heartfelt expression and keen insight into the human experience.

Now, of course, I love AI.

Who knew AI was so smart.

Now, Mr. or Ms. TOI Blogger it’s your turn.

Give it a try.

What can it hurt?

The worst that can happen is you’ll get some incorrect gibberish or you might get a big serving of love.
