Happy summer solstice!
ChatGPT wrote a poem about it
Like Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s Chief Scientist, I find one of the most satisfying uses of ChatGPT to be having it write poetry. Here is a poem about the summer solstice written in Williams Shakespeare's style that is quite good. ChatGPT took some liberties with the meter but so did Will.
Solstice’s Balance Embrace
On this day of solstice, bright and long,
When the sun ascends, vibrant and strong,
Nature dons her robe, verdant and fair,
A tapestry of life woven with care.
Amidst the fields where wildflowers dance,
And golden wheat sways in rhythmic trance,
A symphony of colors, a vibrant blend,
Where summer's verse whispers, round the bend.
The sun, a glowing orb, paints the sky,
A celestial canvas, far and high,
Its radiant beams, a golden embrace,
Caressing the earth with warmth and grace.
Day and night meet in harmonious flight,
A dance of shadows, in twilight's light,
Balanced on this fulcrum, delicate sway,
Equal measures of dark and light, they say.
The whispering breeze, a gentle caress,
Carries the fragrance of nature's finesse,
Beneath the shade of ancient, towering trees,
Life's equilibrium finds sweet release.
From babbling brooks that babble and babble,
To the soaring hawk in sky's wide saddle,
In this realm of nature's serene grandeur,
Balance prevails, a guiding parameter.
The song of birds, a melody divine,
Harmonizing with the whispering pine,
Nature's orchestra, a lyrical sound,
Echoing the symphony, profound.
As twilight embraces the horizon's arc,
The fireflies kindle, a celestial spark,
Amidst the gathering dusk's gentle thrall,
The solstice's balance prevails o’er all.
In this dance of light, where time suspends,
Let's cherish this gift that nature sends,
Embrace the solstice's celestial chance,
And find within our souls, balance's expanse.
Have a blessed summer solstice!
Yes, it does appear that way, unless you consider that day and night are equal over the whole year, and that the summer solstice is the peak of the day length mountain, or something like that. I had the same thoughts. It’s poetry.
