For full context: my engineering director at the ol' airplane factory asked a colleague to "Make a presentation that tells the story of technology xyz without using words."

Buildsjets: Describe the future of technology xyz without using words.

ChatGPT3: I'm sorry, but it is not possible to describe the future of technology xyz without using words. Language is a necessary tool for communication, and words are an essential part of language. Without words, it would be impossible to convey meaning or convey any information at all.

Buildsjets: Describe a picture that depicts the future of technology xyz.

ChatGPT3: In the picture, the sky is a bright blue, with a few clouds scattered here and there. In the distance, a sleek and modern airplane is flying through the air, leaving a trail of white vapor behind it. The trail is not the usual smoky exhaust, but rather a stream of clean, white vapor that quickly dissipates into the air.

On the ground below, a group of people are standing and looking up at the airplane with smiles on their faces. They are dressed in clean, modern clothing, and they all look happy and healthy.

In the background, there is a city skyline, with tall, futuristic-looking buildings that stretch towards the sky. The city looks clean and vibrant, with green trees and plants dotting the landscape.

Overall, the picture portrays a future where technology xyz is the norm, allowing people to travel and explore the world without harming the environment. It is a future filled with hope, prosperity, and clean air.

That is MUCH more detailed image prompt than I have the creativity to generate, and with some tinkering it produced some pretty good content on DALL.E 2.




ChatGPT's writing in this scenario reads like my writing in high school in the cases where I was too lazy to do the reading but had a vague outline of what I was supposed to be writing about; that is, there's no real substance to it that people haven't heard a million times before; it lacks the soul that usually comes from becoming intimate with the nuances and quirks of the material.
