I had ChatGPT write a story about why the Twins should and should not re-sign Carlos Correa

[Lucas Seehafer PT]

The end result:

"Once upon a time, the Minnesota Twins were faced with a difficult decision regarding their star shortstop, Carlos Correa. On one hand, Correa had been a valuable player for the Twins, consistently providing strong defense and powerful hitting at the plate. He was a fan favorite and a leader on the team.

However, the Twins also had to consider the fact that Correa was due for a hefty contract extension. They had to weigh the value of keeping Correa on the team against the potential financial burden of his new contract.

On the one hand, the Twins knew that re-signing Correa would solidify their infield defense and give them a strong presence in the middle of their lineup. His ability to hit for power and average made him a valuable asset, and the team knew they would miss his contributions if he were to leave.

On the other hand, the Twins also knew that they would have to pay a significant amount of money to re-sign Correa. With their current payroll, it would be difficult to fit his new contract into the budget without making some difficult decisions regarding other players on the team.

In the end, the Twins ultimately decided to re-sign Correa. They believed that his value to the team was worth the financial cost, and they were confident that he would continue to be a key player for them in the years to come.

However, not everyone agreed with this decision. Some fans and analysts felt that the Twins had made a mistake by committing so much money to a single player, and that they should have instead focused on building a deeper, more well-rounded team.

Despite the criticism, the Twins were committed to their decision and were hopeful that Correa would continue to be a key contributor for the team. Only time would tell if their decision to re-sign him was the right one."

Hard to see how anyone has a job in fifty years..... I've seen AI create a lot of stuff the past few months.

I started to sign up for an account with them a few days ago (we probably saw the same story about it, was it the New York Times?) but bailed out when they wanted not just my email address but my phone number for account validation. I needed a little more motivation than I had, I guess.   Glad to see you kicked the tires on it.  I've always been drawn to the latest information science tools and toys.

Was it smart of me to do this? Likely not. But was it worth it? Eh, sorta.
