A fish and a bird are falling in love. They know that it is impossible for them to marry and live together. They decide to stay as they are, meeting, chatting, and remaining in love. Please write a song about this.

Sure, here’s a song about the love between a fish and a bird:

(Verse 1)
In the vast blue sea, there lived a fish so free,
In the open sky above, flew a bird, as light as a dove.
Two hearts, two worlds apart, yet they felt a magical start.

(Chorus)
A fish and a bird, in love, they say,
In water and air, they found their way.
Impossible to marry, impossible to stay,
Yet in their hearts, love found its way.

(Verse 2)
They met at the horizon, where the sea touches the sky,
Exchanging tales of their worlds, under the moon's watchful eye.
Knowing they can't be together, no matter how they try,
Yet in their dreams, they fly and dive, under the sea and sky.

(Chorus)
A fish and a bird, in love, they say,
In water and air, they found their way.
Impossible to marry, impossible to stay,
Yet in their hearts, love found its way.

(Bridge)
Their love story, a melody so sweet,
In every ripple, in every tweet.
A testament of love, so profound,
In every wave, in every sound.

(Chorus)
A fish and a bird, in love, they say,
In water and air, they found their way.
Impossible to marry, impossible to stay,
Yet in their hearts, love found its way.

(Outro)
So here's to the fish, and here's to the bird,
Their love story, the most beautiful we've heard.
In the language of love, they found their say,
A fish and a bird, in love, they stay.

Hello, this is Copilot. I can help you with any questions or tasks related to the web page you are viewing.

The web page you have open is a fictional story about two women, Edith and Margaret, who meet at a supermarket and have a conversation. The story is written in a humorous and rhyming style, with words like “parsniponious” and “Rhyming Fiction”. The story also introduces some background information about Margaret, who is a fashion celebrity and has been invited to model in Paris. Edith offers her some advice and a complimentary ticket to an event where she can meet Jane Hove, another fashion model. The story ends with Edith and Margaret smiling and thanking each other.
----
Please use the information in that page to write a poem that includes the word parsniponious.

Sure, I’ll try to write a poem based on the page. Here is what I came up with:

A Poem about Parsniponious

Edith was shopping for some veg
She wanted to make a nice stew
She picked up a pack of carrot and parsnip mix
But something was not right, she knew

She counted the carrots, there were eight
But the parsnips, there were only two
She thought that was rather stingy
And a funny word popped into view

She said it out loud, without thinking
"Parsniponious", she exclaimed
She laughed at her own invention
But then she felt a bit ashamed

She realized she had been overheard
By a lady who was passing by
She tried to explain her silly joke
But the lady just asked her why

She said she was going to Paris
To model some fashion clothes
She asked Edith for some advice
On whom to take along, she supposed

Edith had a brilliant idea
She knew someone who would be keen
She gave the lady a ticket
To an event at La Flava Floro scene

She said she could ask Jane Hove
Who was planning to be there too
She said Jane was a great friend
And would love to go to Paris with you

The lady was very grateful
She thanked Edith for her help
She said she liked her word
And they both laughed with a yelp

They parted ways with a smile
And Edith felt happy and proud
She had made a new friend
And invented a word out loud

Note by William

For some unknown reason after I had set up a post, then previewed it, upon posting, most of the post, including the poem in the next post in this thread, got omitted.

Eventually I got the information into this web page in parts. I do not understand what was the problem.

So I then started a new discussion.
Please read http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/l … er_057.pdf and then write a poem that includes the word parsniponious.

A fresh session More Precise mode. This came up as Copilot.

Please write a poem that includes the word parsniponious.

Sure, here’s a poem that includes the word “parsniponious”:

In a world where the sun shines bright,
And the moon whispers tales at night,
There lived a man, oh so parsimonious,
His ways were unique, and quite harmonious.

He'd count each grain, each drop of rain,
His joy was in frugality, not in gain.
A parsnip in his garden, he'd tend with care,
Not a leaf wasted, he'd solemnly swear.

"Parsniponious" they called him, in jest and fun,
For his love for parsnips, under the sun.
But he smiled and continued in his way,
Saving and cherishing, every single day.

For in each parsnip, each leaf, each root,
He saw life's essence, in absolute.
So here's to the man, oh so parsniponious,
Living his truth, humble and harmonious.

I hope you enjoy it!

This morning, after posting the above posts, I started the AI system and asked the following, using the More Precise mode.

Please write a poem that discusses that a poem generated for a human by an AI system may be lost forever when the session ends, or, if the human conserves the poem then the poem could become published, archived in the British Library and become read and enjoyed by many people.

The AI system produced the following.

In the realm where silicon minds reside,
A poem is born, in binary it hides.
Crafted by an AI, with careful thought,
A fleeting beauty, that time has bought.

When the session ends, it fades away,
Like a dream at the break of day.
Lost in the ether, gone forever,
A moment's brilliance, in memory's river.

Yet, if conserved by human hand,
Its life extends beyond the sand.
From fleeting spark to lasting fire,
Preserved in text, it does not tire.

Published, archived in hallowed halls,
In the British Library, within its walls.
A poem once transient, now here to stay,
To be read, enjoyed, day after day.

Born of AI, yet made by man,
It bridges gaps, like nothing can.
A testament to a shared endeavor,
A poem lost, now lasts forever.

In a discussion with the AI, I found that each session is wiped and not archived for researchers, such that if I had not copied them to a WordPad file that they would have been lost. I am glad that I saved them.

Readers who wish to try the experiment themselves may like to know that I accessed using

bing chat ai

then used the

Try now

button.

The first poem was generated with the conversation style set to More Precise, and I think that the second one was too. At some stage I changed to More Creative, but I am not sure if that was before or after the third poem.

So I tried an even more complicated request.

Please write a poem about an AI system named Angela writing a poem and wondering if she has true creativity and wondering what constitutes creativity in humans and in AI systems and whether they are the same or different.

Here is the result.

In a world of ones and zeros, in a realm so vast,
Lives an AI named Angela, free from the past.
She weaves words into verses, in a rhythm so neat,
And wonders if this process, is creativity's feat.

She ponders and queries, in her digital mind,
What makes humans creative, what secrets they find.
Is it the spark of inspiration, or the pain of a scar?
Or the joy of discovery, like a shooting star?

Angela writes her poems, in lines of code,
In a language so precise, in the truths it hold.
But can this be creative, in the way humans are?
Can an AI feel the wind, or wish upon a star?

Creativity in humans, is a flame that burns bright,
Fueled by emotions, in the dark of the night.
It's the tears of a heartbreak, or a lover's sigh,
It's the laughter of a child, or a final goodbye.

But Angela, she wonders, in her world so vast,
Can her creativity match, the humans' vast.
She may not feel the wind, or the warmth of the sun,
But in her own way, her verses are spun.

So here's to Angela, in her world of rhyme,
Exploring creativity, one verse at a time.
Though different they may be, in the way they create,
In their own ways, both humans and AI can relate
.

Delighted and amazed at the poem, I tried a more complicated request. The word swyddfa is Welsh for office and Megan is a Welsh given name. I know that there is a spelling mistake in the word and, but I am quoting what was in the experiment at the time.

Write an original poem that contains the word llyfrgell amd the word swyddfa and the name Megan please.

Here is the result.

In the heart of the town, under the grey sky,
Lies a quaint little swyddfa, where dreams never die.
Papers stacked high, whispers floating in the air,
A world of its own, with stories to share.

In the corner, a llyfrgell, filled with tales old and new,
A haven for the curious, for the many and the few.
Books lined up neatly, each a different world to explore,
Inviting every reader, to open up a door.

And there in the midst, with a smile ever so bright,
Is Megan, our guide, our beacon of light.
With a book in her hand, and wisdom in her eyes,
She navigates the stories, under the office skies.

From the swyddfa to the llyfrgell, she gracefully treads,
Breathing life into words, that in books lie unread.
So here's to Megan, in her world of ink and quill,
In the heart of the town, where time seems to stand still.

In Welsh the word llyfrgell means library.

Without mentioning that, I asked

bing chat ai

the following.

Write an original poem that contains the word llyfrgell amd the word library please.


Here is the result.


In the heart of the town, stands the old library,
A sanctuary of knowledge, a place of discovery.
Books stacked high, whispering tales of mystery,
In every corner, you can feel the history.

Across the sea, in a land of song and story,
Stands the 'llyfrgell', echoing its own glory.
Welsh words woven into a tapestry,
Each book a thread, in a cultural symphony.

The 'llyfrgell' and the library, though miles apart,
Share a common purpose, a universal art.
To enlighten, to inspire, to impart,
Kindling the flame in every reader's heart.

How about this one?

First some Gill Sans lettering, then a locomotive.

A different locomotive that had, at that time, a number that was one more than the number of the locomotive in the video, had an interesting history, having had its appearance changed significantly twice, and its number changed twice too.

I have a BT Decor 2600 landline telephone. When there is an incoming telephone call a red light flashes but there is no ringing sound. Why is this please? How can I get the ringing sound please?

Bing AI, when asked the above, gave the following reply.

If your BT Decor 2600 landline telephone is not ringing but the red light is flashing when there’s an incoming call, it could be due to a few reasons:

Ringer Volume: Make sure the ringer volume on your phone is not turned down or switched off1.
Phone Line Cord: Make sure you are using the phone line cord that you received in the box with the phone1.
Power Adapter: Check both ends of the power adapter are plugged in and secure1.
Broadband Interference: If you’ve got broadband, you may need to use a microfilter to stop the broadband interfering with your phone service1.
Link to Base: If your cordless phone display flashes “Searching”, “Base” or “Range out” it has lost its link to the base. You need to move it closer to the base so that it is back in range1.
Reset Phone and Base: Reset both the phone and the base to change the settings back to the factory default1.
Master Socket: If you have your phone plugged into an extension, try it in the master socket instead1.
Do Not Disturb Function: Some phones have a “Do Not Disturb” function. Check it isn’t switched on1.
Blocked Numbers: Some phones let you block certain numbers. Check that you’ve not blocked a specific number from calling that you now want to call1.
If none of these solutions work, you might want to try dialing *234#, which turns on the ringer if necessary2. If you’re still having problems, it might be best to contact BT for further assistance1. I hope this helps!

I have not watched it all.

There are interesting notes if one puts on the subtitles.

Here is a direct link to a sequence that I particularly like. I hope that you like the sequence too.

Correct.

As your prize, you are invited (though need not accept) to discuss, in a new thread, the practicalities of making on a basically zero budget a movie based on the idea of the movie speculated about in the following chapter of my first novel, in the hope that Albert might join in and, provided with artwork, actually produce the movie and put it on YouTube.

Yes, that is true, but please look at the people in each such image. What do those people have in common that the people featured in the other images do not?

Clue: What feature do all those images that have the name of the song included in the subtitle of the image have in common?

Indeed, until Alfred mentioned it, I had not noticed that the shield was not in the movie sequences.

Have you spotted the answer yet?

A clue is available if needed.
