Chat gpt

I don't know much about it, admittedly. I did try to let AI create some Santa Ham images for the blog last December and most of them just came out weird. AI can't seem to get human hands right.

This afternoon, I was perusing one of the wire antenna pages on Facebook, and a guy had chat gpt create a poem about himself and his antenna work. It actually came out pretty well! So for the fun of it, I got the idea to go to one of these free chat gpt sites and asked it to "create a poem about QRP, CW and W2LJ". This is what it came up with:

In the quiet hum of the evening glow,  

Where whispers of the airwaves softly flow,  

Larry W2LJ sits with a grin,  

In his small shack where the joys begin.  

With wires and gadgets, a world to explore,  

He dances with signals, always craving more.  

QRP is his mantra, in low power he trusts,  

In the art of connection, the thrill is a must.  

With a key in his hand, and a heart full of spark,  

He sends out his message, a glow in the dark.  

Each dot and each dash, a rhythm, a beat,  

In the language of Morse, where worlds tend to meet.  

"Hello, OM!" In a flurry they fly,  

On the wings of the ether, they dart through the sky.  

From mountain to valley, across oceans wide,  

In the simplicity of code, there's nothing to hide.  

Pulses of energy, like sparks from the brain,  

A brotherhood kindled, in joy and in pain.  

For in every transmission, a story unfolds,  

Of camaraderie, passion, and dreams to be told.  

With QRP, he finds beauty in spite,  

Of the challenge of distance, in the depths of the night.  

For it's not just the power, but the heart that connects,  

In the soothing embrace of the radio's effects.  

So here’s to you, Larry, with your vintage callsign,  

In the world of the small, it's your passion that shines.  

Through Morse and through signals, your legacy flows,  

In the whispers of the night, where the true friendship grows.

Not bad, eh? For a first shot at this with kind of vague instructions, I'll give chat gpt a "B+", because I'm no poet and it did better than I ever could. I didn't mention my name, so the computer behind this must have gone to QRZ to find that, I guess.  The fact that no one has ever written a poem about me makes it all the sweeter!
