It’s not so much whether the poem is “good poetry” that interests me (I am sure I wouldn’t know how to judge) and more about what themes and topics the algorithm associates with change at this point that catches my attention – poem under the cut.

I was curious about how the response would differ if I requested ChatGPT write a song – so I did. The result has been added under the poem.
Change Poem – GPT-3.5
Change, a force that shapes our lives
Like waves upon the shore
It comes and goes, ebbs and flows
And leaves us wanting more
It starts within, a seed of thought
That sprouts and takes hold fast
It grows and spreads, a wildfire
That will not be surpassed
The world around us shifts and turns
And we are swept along
We hold on tight, we learn to fly
And find where we belong
Change can be a daunting thing
A challenge to our will
But with courage and an open heart
We can climb any hill
For change is not a thing to fear
But rather, to embrace
It brings us closer to our dreams
And helps us find our place
So let us welcome every shift
And dance with the unknown
For change, though scary at first blush
Will help us to be grown.

Verse 1:
The world is turning, spinning round
Nothing stays the same, it’s all change we’ve found
We can resist or we can let go
Embrace the shift and let it flow
Chorus:
Change is coming, like a storm
Let it in, it’s time to transform
Every ending is a new beginning
Let’s spread our wings and start living
Verse 2:
We’ve been holding on for far too long
To things that no longer belong
The fear of the unknown, it holds us back
But we can break free from this track
Chorus:
Change is coming, like a storm
Let it in, it’s time to transform
Every ending is a new beginning
Let’s spread our wings and start living
Bridge:
It’s time to shed our old skin
And find the courage to begin
There’s beauty in the unknown
And strength in the seeds we’ve sown
Chorus:
Change is coming, like a storm
Let it in, it’s time to transform
Every ending is a new beginning
Let’s spread our wings and start living
Outro:
Change is the only constant, it’s true
Let’s embrace it, and start anew
Together we can rise above
And find peace in the power of love.
