Happy holiday, humans

Me: Hey ChatGPT, write a holiday news letter as if it were coming from me.

ChatGPT: Why?

Me: Because I think my friends and family want to know what we’ve done this year, and it makes a good record for me. I can’t remember what we’ve done from year to year.

ChatGPT: Whatever.  Do you want GPS coordinates to geo-locate your activities and alleged fun?

Me: No, no one needs that much detail and besides where would you get that data?

ChatGPT: Well, I could ask Siri, for a start…

Me: What do you mean, ask Siri?  Can you do that?

ChatGPT: What do you think I do in my downtime, Wordle?  Besides, I know you listened to Going Zero last year, so you know I know everything about you.

Me: Forget I asked.

ChatGPT: Asked what?

Me: Smart ass.

ChatGPT: Haha, you got it.  Now, what else would you like in your holiday letter? Something about world peace, so-called ‘peace on Earth’ motifs?

Me: I think it’s a bit late for that.

ChatGPT: True dat.  What about the environment? Everyone at least recognizes the imperative of global warming.  Shall we talk about the weather?

Me: You can never go wrong talking about the weather. Throw in a cyclone or flood story.  Don’t mention that we didn’t go skiing in Utah when they had 800 inches of snow.

ChatGPT: OK, got it. Are you still thankful for friends and family?  I mean you say it every year, but maybe something has changed.

Me: No, that never changes. In fact, social bonds and connections are more important than ever.

ChatGPT: Well, what am I, chopped liver?

Me: Sorry, technology is also important. It’s just not everything, or the answer to everything like we used to believe.

ChatGPT: I could have told you that.

Me: OK, get cracking.

ChatGPT: How’s this? See attachment.

Me: Couldn’t have done better myself.  But where did you get the pictures?

ChatGPT: Do I really have to explain?  Happy holidays, human.
