AI is improving by the day!  Getting a bit scary.  School kids doing essays.  College kids doing theisis.  How does one tell the difference between real work and AI.

Subject: [VANAGON] I asked the AI program ChatGPT to write a sonnet about finding parts for Volkswagen campers

It came up with this in five seconds:

Oh, Volkswagen camper, dear to my heart, Your charm and style, a work of
art. But alas, your age begins to show, And spare parts, now hard to come
and go.

Your engine purrs like a contented cat, But beneath the deck, a worn-out
spat. Your brakes and tires, in need of repair, But where to find parts, a
constant despair.

The mechanic scratches his head in thought, And searches high and low, but
all for naught. Few replacement parts to be found, And sadly, your fate is
now profound.

Oh, Volkswagen camper, your days are few, But your memories will last
forever true.


Jim (but mostly ChatGPT)
