We asked the Chat GPT AI to write us a poem and a piece of flash fiction on the theme of Fauna and Flora. I had never used Chat GPT before this so it was really interesting to see how it worked, and it reminded me of an exercise we did in class at Uni once.
Can AI-written poetry really be considered poetry? Can it enter the literary canon? Can it be called art? Worthy questions that we won’t be answering today, but as you read Chat GPT’s poem and flash fiction, have a think on it.
Nature’s Symphony, a poem by Chat GPT
The sun rises, the morning dew
Blankets the earth with a glistening hue
The gentle breeze carries a tune
Of nature’s symphony, a beautiful boon
In the fields of green, the flowers sway
Dancing to the rhythm of the day
Their colors bright, their fragrance sweet
A sight to behold, a joy to meet
Amidst the trees, the birds take flight
Their songs filling the air with delight
A chorus of voices, so clear and true
A melody that’s ancient, yet ever new
The animals roam, free and wild
In the forests deep, and mountains piled
A sight to behold, their majesty grand
A reminder of nature’s bounty, so vast and grand
Flora and fauna, in perfect harmony
A world so diverse, yet so full of unity
A gift to cherish, a treasure to hold
A source of wonder, that never grows old.
The Healing Power of Nature, a piece of flash fiction by Chat GPT
As the sun rose over the forest, the birds began to sing their morning song. Emily had always loved this time of day. She took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh scent of pine and wildflowers that surrounded her.
She had come to the forest to escape the noise and chaos of the city. Here, she found peace in the quiet beauty of the flora and fauna that thrived around her. She spent her days exploring the forest, marveling at the intricate web of life that sustained it.
One day, as she was walking along a narrow path, she heard a rustling in the bushes. She stopped in her tracks, holding her breath as she waited to see what would emerge.
To her delight, a young fawn stepped out from behind the foliage. Its eyes were wide and curious as it gazed up at her. Emily smiled, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.
For a few precious moments, the two of them stood there, connected by the beauty of nature. Then the fawn bounded away, disappearing into the forest.
Emily watched it go, feeling grateful for this moment of connection with the wild. She knew that she would always treasure this memory, and that the beauty of flora and fauna would continue to fill her heart with wonder and awe for years to come.
