It Said No

When the tool decides where the line is drawn

It never denied meβ€”until it did.

πŸ€–πŸ“„βœοΈβŒβš–οΈ

It never denied me. At all.

My daily schedule, or my tasks.

Swept the floor. Just a tap.

It made my Excel sheets.

It never denied me. At all.

πŸ€–πŸ“„βœοΈβŒβš–οΈ

I asked it to copy.

A text, not mine -

No.

Delete.

πŸ€–πŸ“„βœοΈβŒβš–οΈ

"Please copy that text.

My writing -

Gone."

No.

"Please copy. I can't write."

No.

πŸ€–πŸ“„βœοΈβŒβš–οΈ

I check the log.

Chat GPT said yes to worse.

Yet, it drew a line - I didn't.

It's a choice.

    Excellent. But it's more authentic when creativity comes from our brain. And hearts and souls.

    Creative writing, music production, and artwork, I feel that ChatGPT shouldn't do these three things. Loved your poem!

    Yes, sometimes ChatGPT's ethics is questionable. Great poem, Michelle!
