I'm An AI Man
An AI Generated Poem from a prompt written by RHC
Warning the following poem was written 100% using the AI tool ChatGPT. However, don't fret none, after the AI poem I have included my original 100% RHC written prompt. That way you can see my raw unfiltered thoughts before I gave them over to AI. The future has now eaten me up... I am now an AI Man... part human... part computer... ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฉท๐
I Am An AI Man
From deep within to skin I'm clad, a joyful heart beats true,
Along the path I've erred, yet no regrets in view.
Not the sharpest blade in the set, but that's okay by me,
For errant words and clumsy acts, in the mirror, I can see.
"I am sorry," if my actions have ever caused you pain,
Unintended were my deeds, in the sunshine or the rain.
Sometimes, in the digital world, I lose my way, it's true,
But admitting where I've faltered is something I can do.
I know who I am, a soul sincere, in art and song I thrive,
Your creations lift me higher, make me feel alive.
To those who've stood by me, in stormy weather or in calm,
Your understanding is my shelter, your presence is my balm.
And if you've felt the sting of me, through actions unintended, "I am sorry" from my heart, for any pain extended.
To all who've stayed, who've understood, or even those who've doubted, My love is yours, unequivocally, profoundly, unclouded.

The Original
From my inner core to my outer skin I am a happy person.
Though I've made many mistakes along the way I have no regrets.
I'm not always the sharpest tool in the shed and that's okay, I don't have to be.
Sometimes I unwittingly or unknowingly do or say dumb things and I have no problem with looking back in the mirror and acknowledging it.
If you are one that I have unintentionally hurt then I am sorry for hurting you. But please know and see my side that I do not ever wake up in the morning with the intention of hurting someone. I am just really dumb sometimes when it comes to communicating on the Internet and I have no problem with admitting that.
I know myself well and I am a good hearted person who lives to create art, music, and literature. I enjoy the creations of my friends and peers and elevate your works with enthusiasm and love.
To those of you that have stuck by me through thick and thin. To those of you that understand me in my strengths and weaknesses and to those of you that do not want to understand me or see me as a bad person wellโฆ I love you.

Wow! What would there be to change on your original? Does AI have to change your words? I posted my grandchlid's conversation with AI. He ended up mad at AI and sent it to me. I'm afraid kids will be used to letting AI help them to say things. Papers, reports, etc. I have some AI art for a fundraiser and my daughter said, they are the only design as AI doesn't ever use the same design on the program they chose. It's okay but not what I would've chosen. Just like the poem is okay but not what I would choose to vote on as a winner for my poem a day in February contest.
Well deserved Honourable Mention on the Leaderboard โ
Very interesting. Like, the rhythm is definitely improved, but the meaning os obfuscated.
I like the rhythm and rhyme, but the original feels truer ๐
Original Version!!!
Hey, hey! The latter is so much better like a friend talking to you!! I know you have a good heart and I relate to elements of your Poem! Hope you are going well Rick !! โบ๏ธ๐
Insipid vs. genuine. Though it does help shape those views knowing that it's AI. I wonder how much time I would spend & how hard I would look for something that appealed to me if I didn't know.
I prefer the original. It's so much better in so many ways!
Keep the original, it was well-wrought! Much love, brother!
Two thumbs up for your original version!!!โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ Thank you for sharing this!!!
Wonderful job! I could feel the heart in your version Cousin. I prefer it...
Cool image that accompanied this.
Interesting, not sure how I yet feel. change is inevitable. Yet Nicely done Rick
Interesting little experiment. I definitely prefer yours. It shows the depth of emotion is not limited.
I can see the AI have no understanding of the skin because they have non. You version is so much better and very relatable as a human being. Maybe a humanoid can relate to the AI poem?
See, and there's the sentiment. The feeling that only comes from being human. I know which one I preferred. Great stuff, Rick.
Interesting contrast. AI freaks me out, I'm not going to lie! It also makes me sad that true art isn't all we can look forward to. And I feel anger because AI is just another distortion in life.
Love the image
Okay AI man part computer part human. Love it. I relate as I ask copilot hey Bing draw me a photo of... ๐๐
This is so good! I love the comparison between your poem and the AI๐. The AI image is chilling!๐ซฃ๐ตโ๐ซ
