AI Valentine + Poison

PROMPT:
Write some Valentine greeting card messages that explicitly acknowledge that they were composed by AI

ChatGPT:

  1. “Roses are red, violets are blue, this Valentine’s message was crafted by AI, but my love for you is as real as can be!”
  2. “On this special day, even AI has a heart, and it’s sending all its love to you. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
  3. “They say AI lacks emotions, but it’s sending you this message to prove it’s got a lot of love for you! Happy Valentine’s Day!”
  4. “An AI might not feel butterflies, but it knows you make my heart flutter. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
  5. “I may be programmed with algorithms, but the love I have for you is 100% real. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
  6. “Roses are red, circuits are silicon blue, this Valentine’s wish is from AI, straight to you!”
  7. “Though I’m just lines of code, I’ve got a heartfelt message to upload: Happy Valentine’s Day, my love!”
  8. “In the realm of ones and zeros, my love for you is the only one that matters. Happy Valentine’s Day, from your AI admirer!”
  9. “Even in the world of AI, your love is the ultimate upgrade. Happy Valentine’s Day!”
  10. “An AI’s message might not beat to a human heart, but it’s filled with love just for you. Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Wine and mortification

Years ago I was out for dinner with the trade show crew of the company I worked for. The company was paying, so we went to a pretty nice Italian restaurant — nice enough that it had a sommelier. The local coworker assumed control of ordering the wine. He fancied himself something of a wine expert, and after a brief conversation with the sommelier, a bottle of a red wine was ordered; it was probably about $50 in today’s money.

The sommelier returned with the bottles, went through the ritual of opening it, and poured a splash into our wine expert’s glass to evaluate. He closed his eyes and went through the heavy inhalation, the swishing around in his mouth, the unpleasant gargle, until he held the glass up, peered at it, and said to the sommelier:

“The wine is very good…but the glass is a bit cabinet-y.”

The sommelier apologized, scurried off, and returned with new glasses for all of us.

We then enjoyed an excellent wine, with hints of cherries, tobacco, and lavender, and a finish with notes of embarrassment.
