CHATGPT & THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE While the bot is super intelligent, there are limitations to how real the responses can be, as it is still created from machine learning intelligence, sometimes lacking the real human tone.

One Tinder veteran shared a poem written by ChatGP to a match to great success. Speed dating on a whole new level… One creative trend is asking the platform to write a song in the style of a particular artist, to see how close to the original it is.
