ChatGPT or Me? (Guess)

How sharp is your discernment?

Let’s see.

I did a little experiment that I’ll take you through here…

Here it is.

I had ChatGPT (the AI software that generates text based on prompts) attempt to replicate one of my poems, as well as my plain English summary of the poem.

Do you think you can tell the difference between the ChatGPT output and my writing?

We’ll see.

I won’t give it away yet…

Poem A

In the depths of my soul
There lies a seed of doubt It whispers to me softly
That I am not enough

But I know in my heart
That I am more than this I am a child of the universe
Endowed with endless potential

So I stand tall and proud
And I face my fear head on
I embrace my imperfections
And let go of self-doubt

For I am a warrior
A conqueror of my own mind
I will not let negativity
Control my thoughts and actions

I choose to believe in myself
To trust in my own power
For I am a being of light
And I will rise above

So let the doubts come and go
Like clouds passing in the sky
I will not be swayed
For I am strong and free

I will embrace my journey
And all that it brings
I will let go of self-doubt
And embrace all that I am

Summary A

This poem is about overcoming self-doubt and believing in oneself.

It suggests that everyone has a seed of doubt within them, but that it's important to recognize that we are all capable of great things and to let go of that doubt in order to achieve our goals.

The poem encourages the reader to stand tall, face their fears, and trust in their own power and potential. It emphasizes the idea that we are all warriors and conquerors of our own minds, and that we should embrace our imperfections and journey through life with confidence and strength.

Poem B

I used to doubt everything I did
No more
Now I live from my heart
The more I let go
And embrace my connection with The Divine
The more doubt dissolves into faith

I used to beat myself up
Every time I made a mistake
No more 
I made peace with my demons
Until they felt safe enough
To transform into angels

I used to want validation
External proof that I’m worthy and loved
Until I found out
It’s a loop
An addiction never fully satisfied
Instead
I’ve learned to face myself
And realize
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
That everything I craved from others
From the external world
Was within me all along
The love
The worth
The fulfillment
The joy
The peace

I rediscovered the portal of my heart
Cleansed the clutter around it
And purified my nervous system
So that the states of being
I thought were received
From somewhere out there
Somewhere in the future 
Were always here

Here I Am
With eyes to see
Here I Am
With the courage to BE

Summary B

Ever doubt yourself?

Welcome to being human.

It’s easy to doubt ourselves these days.

With so much input, so much information, incessant distractions and social media hype everywhere, it’s inevitable to fall into self-doubt sometimes.

While doubt is a natural part of the human experience, it’s obviously not beneficial to be swallowed by it; overtaken by its incessant chatterings.

This is when you get caught in the loops of doubt, where it festers and becomes hard to get rid of. Sometimes, it feels like it’s a permanent personality defect.

But here’s the thing.

The doubts, the self-criticism - all that stuff that gets you down and makes you look for validation outside yourself… It’s just a pattern of thoughts. That’s it.

Thoughts operate on the principle of, “like feeds like.”

If you have a thought of self-doubt, guess what? It creates more thoughts of self-doubt. And if you keep doing this, soon enough you’re overrun by self-doubt because you’ve created a feedback loop of those thoughts.

Here’s why knowing the “like feeds like” concept is important.

Once you understand it, you realize that doubt (or whatever the negative thoughts are) is NOT a personality defect. It’s just a feedback loop.

When you really get that, and have the aha moment that it’s just a feedback loop, you free yourself from the loop.

You clear the slate so that you can start a new, more positive feedback loop.

Remember, when it comes to thoughts, “like feeds like.”

Feed the thought patterns you actually want to experience.

If you’re reading this, I’m cheering you on across space and time.

No matter what circumstance you’re in, keep the faith.

Even if it seems hopeless, there’s a divine plan greater than you can comprehend.

You’re being strengthened, because maybe the challenges you’re going through become the gifts you share to make the world a better place.
