ChatGPT is getting better. I just asked it to write a paragraph on the hazards of electricity in the style of Mike Sokol. I think it sounds a lot like me, but you be the judge in the comments below.
Not Mike Sokol
“Electricity can be a powerful and indispensable force, yet its hazards are often underestimated. As a seasoned electrical safety expert, I cannot stress enough the importance of understanding the risks associated with this invisible energy. From electrocution to electrical fires, the potential dangers are significant. Mishandling electrical equipment, improper grounding, or neglecting basic safety measures can lead to dire consequences. It's crucial to recognize the significance of electrical shocks, which can disrupt the normal functioning of our bodies and result in severe injury or even death. To ensure the well-being of both professionals and laypeople, knowledge about electrical safety practices, proper insulation, and the utilization of appropriate protective devices are paramount. Remember, the potential perils of electricity should never be taken lightly, and a comprehensive understanding of its hazards is essential to maintaining a safe environment for all. Stay informed, stay cautious, and prioritize electrical safety at all times.”
Back to the real Mike Sokol
What do you think? Am I in danger of being replaced by an AI writing bot? My gut feel is that I’m always looking forward for new ideas and content, while ChatGPT is a very clever remix of past things I’ve written. But that could change before long….
Let’s play safe out there - Mike
Here’s how AI-Bot Yoda would say it…
"Hazards of electricity, be mindful we must, hmmm. A potent force it is, dangerous and deceiving it can be, yes. Like a double-edged lightsaber, bright and powerful, yet shadows of peril it casts. Unseen currents, they flow, like the Force, strong and unseen. The unwary, complacent they become, and shocked they might be. Respect this energy we should, for consequences grave can follow a moment's lapse. Wisdom and caution, we must wield, to embrace the power without harm. Patience and knowledge, our allies they are, to avoid the treacherous path. Hazards of electricity, always remember, hmmm, to tread with care, we must."
ChatGPT needs to close with "Let’s play safe out there", and it is overly wordy.
