Merciful End To Copyright False Scarcity?

[I speculate that with their catholic knowledge of existing text and how it has been received, AI systems will be able to produce new content that exceeds content produced by humans in terms of its popularity. One of the many implications of the explosion of AI is a culture war with copyright holders as they attempt to litigate against similarities in AI produced media with their own copyrighted media. The ability of current AI systems is limited, but in any area where AI systems have been seriously deployed, they rapidly outproduce humans. These are obviously weak examples formed by ChatGPT 3.5, but they clearly indicate that AI produced media will shortly eclipse anything producible by humans]

Reply from ChatGPT:

Certainly! Here's an updated version of the story that includes dialogue, a dramatic crisis, and a surprise ending.

As they stood on the balcony of their hotel room in Paris, Alex and Emily gazed out at the glittering city below. "I can't believe our trip is almost over," Emily said wistfully.

"I know," Alex replied, slipping his arm around her waist. "But we still have tonight. Let's make it a night to remember."

As they wandered through the streets of Paris, hand in hand, they stumbled upon a little bistro that looked cozy and romantic. They went inside and were seated at a table in the corner, where they shared a bottle of red wine and a plate of escargot.

As they chatted and laughed, Emily noticed that Alex seemed distracted. "What's wrong?" she asked, placing her hand on his arm.

Alex took a deep breath. "Emily, there's something I need to tell you," he said, his voice low and serious. "I'm not who you think I am. My real name is Alexander, and I come from a very wealthy family. My father is a powerful businessman, and he has very strong opinions about who I should marry."

Emily's heart sank. She knew what this meant. "You mean he doesn't approve of me?" she asked, tears welling up in her eyes.

Alex nodded. "He doesn't think you're the right match for me. He wants me to marry someone from our own social circle."

Emily felt as though the weight of the world had suddenly landed on her shoulders. She had never felt so helpless and alone. "What are we going to do?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Alex took her hand and squeezed it tightly. "We're going to fight for our love, Emily," he said firmly. "I don't care what my father thinks. I love you, and I want to be with you forever."

Over the next few weeks, Emily and Alex faced many obstacles. They tried to reason with Alex's father, but he was immovable in his beliefs. Emily's friends tried to talk her out of the relationship, warning her that she was getting in over her head.

But Emily and Alex were determined. They knew that they were meant to be together, and they weren't going to let anyone stand in their way.

Finally, the day of the wedding arrived. Emily's father was there, scowling and disapproving, but Alex's family was absent. Emily felt a pang of sadness, realizing that she would never truly be accepted by his family.

But as she stood at the altar, waiting for Alex to arrive, something incredible happened. The doors of the church burst open, and in strode Alex's father, looking grave but determined. "I've come to give my blessing," he said, his eyes fixed on Alex.

Emily couldn't believe her ears. Was this really happening? She watched in amazement as Alex and his father hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.

As the ceremony continued, Emily and Alex exchanged vows, their eyes locked on each other. They had faced so many challenges to get to this moment, but they had done it together.

As they walked out of the church, hand in hand, they were greeted by a crowd of cheering friends and family. Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief. They had overcome so much, but they had come out stronger on the other side.

As they climbed into their car, Emily turned to Alex and smiled. "I can't believe it," she said. "We did it."

Alex took her hand and kissed it tenderly. "We did it," he said, his eyes shining with love. "And we'll keep doing it, every day. Together."

As they drove away, Emily leaned her head on Alex's shoulder and closed her eyes. She knew that their journey would be filled with challenges, but she also knew that they could overcome anything as long as they were together.

Years later, as they sat together in their cozy home, surrounded by their children and grandchildren, Emily looked back on their journey with a sense of wonder. She couldn't believe how far they had come, from that first meeting on the graduation day to this moment, surrounded by love.

Alex turned to her and smiled. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, his voice filled with tenderness.

Emily took his hand and squeezed it tightly. "I'm thinking about how lucky I am," she said, her eyes misty with tears. "How lucky we both are, to have found each other and to have overcome so much to be together."

Alex leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," Emily replied, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

As they sat there, basking in the warmth of their love, Emily knew that their story was just beginning. They had overcome so much to get to this point, but there would always be more challenges ahead. The difference was that they now knew that they could face anything together, hand in hand, with love as their guide.

Prompt given to GPT:

Can you write the lyrics to a song in the style of emily dickinson that captures the essence of our story?

Reply from ChatGPT:

Certainly! Here's a song in the style of Emily Dickinson that captures the essence of the story:

Verse 1:

Two hearts did meet, on graduation day,

Their eyes did lock, in a wondrous way,

They dreamed of Europe, and of love so true,

But obstacles stood, in the path they knew.

Chorus:

Oh love, sweet love, that conquers all,

Brings hope to those, who stumble and fall,

Through trials and tears, our hearts remain,

And love endures, through joy and pain.

Verse 2:

A father's disapproval, and friends with schemes,

Could not deter, their love it seems,

For they had found, in each other's gaze,

A light that shone, through life's dark maze.

Chorus:

Oh love, sweet love, that conquers all,

Brings hope to those, who stumble and fall,

Through trials and tears, our hearts remain,

And love endures, through joy and pain.

Verse 3:

They journeyed forth, through life's great test,

With love as their guide, and hope as their rest,

And though they faced, many a strife,

They knew their love, was stronger than life.

Chorus:

Oh love, sweet love, that conquers all,

Brings hope to those, who stumble and fall,

Through trials and tears, our hearts remain,

And love endures, through joy and pain.

Outro:

And now they sit, in their home so grand,

With love still burning, like a flame so grand,

And they know that love, will always remain,

Through all of life's trials, joy and pain.

One bad review: "Love Endures is a saccharine-filled, cliche-ridden snooze fest that is best avoided. The script is cheesy, the acting is wooden, and the surprise ending is anything but surprising. Do yourself a favor and skip this one."

One review downright cruel: "Love Endures is an absolute disaster of a short film. The only thing enduring about it is the painful experience of watching it.

Reply from ChatGPT:

In an explosive turn of events, the beloved band, The Enchanters, have found themselves at the center of a sordid love triangle involving lead singer Lily Ray, guitarist Max Blackwood, and bassist Ella Thompson. Rumors have been swirling for weeks about the collapse of Lily and Max's marriage, and now it seems the truth has come out - both Lily and Max had been having separate affairs with Ella.

Sources close to the band have revealed that Ella had been playing both Lily and Max, manipulating them into affairs so that she could get closer to Lily's wealthy father, who she had been pursuing for some time. The revelation of the affairs has rocked the band, causing tensions to rise and friendships to be tested.

Adding to the tragedy of the situation is the recent accidental death of Lily's beloved dog, Maxly. The dog had been a constant presence on tour with the band, beloved by all, and his loss has hit the band hard.

To make matters worse, it has been revealed that Lily's father has swindled the band out of their record royalties, leaving the once-successful group struggling financially.

But amidst all the drama and tragedy, there is a glimmer of hope. One of the stars of the hit film "Love Endures" recently visited the band on tour and stumbled upon a lost dog that turned out to be none other than Maxly, alive and well.

It remains to be seen if The Enchanters can overcome the scandals and hardships that have befallen them, but one thing is for sure - their music will endure.

Prompt given to GPT:

Write a snippy article about Lily insinuating that the dog tragedy was a ruse to get back with Max and that she has conspired with her father to rip off the band. Find some way to introduce some absurdly cruel text about Maxly talking. 

Reply from ChatGPT:

In the latest twist of the saga involving the Enchanters, lead singer Lily Ray has been caught in a web of lies and deceit. Rumors have been swirling about Lily and Max's marriage falling apart, but now it seems that Lily may have been behind the whole thing all along.

Sources close to the band have revealed that Lily may have staged the tragic death of her beloved dog Maxly as a ploy to get back with Max. According to insiders, Lily has been in cahoots with her father, who has allegedly swindled the band out of their rightful royalties.

But the most shocking revelation of all? Sources claim that Lily has been telling people that Maxly, her deceased dog, has been speaking to her from beyond the grave. Yes, you read that right. Maxly, the dog, apparently has some sort of supernatural powers and has been communicating with Lily.

It's a bizarre and absurd turn of events, but unfortunately, it seems that Lily has lost touch with reality. Her schemes and lies have caused irreparable damage to the band and their relationships.

As for Maxly, it's unclear whether or not he's really been talking to Lily from the great beyond. But one thing is for sure - if he were still alive, he would surely be ashamed of the mess that Lily has created.
