ChatGPT appears to have a refined sense of the absurd. I asked it to write a ridiculous (but standard) Republican-Democrat, both-sides New York Times political story, and it did exactly that.

ChatGPT prompt: Write a news story in the style of the New York Times Washington bureau, on the debate that has arisen because Republicans say the sky is green while Democrats say the sky is blue. Result: WASHINGTON - A fierce debate has erupted on Capitol Hill, with Republicans claiming that the sky is green and Democrats insisting that it is blue. The disagreement has caused a stir among lawmakers, as each side accuses the other of peddling falsehoods. At the heart of the dispute is a fundamental disagreement over what constitutes objective reality. Republicans have argued that the sky is green because they believe that the blue color is a result of a liberal media conspiracy to deceive the public. Democrats, on the other hand, point to scientific evidence that clearly shows that the sky is, in fact, blue. "The sky is blue. That is just a fact," said Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York. "I can't believe we're even having this debate. This is just another example of how far the Republican Party has gone off the rails." But Republicans remain adamant in their insistence that the sky is green. "The Democrats can talk all they want about 'facts' and 'science', but the truth is that the sky is green," said Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas. "This is just another attempt by the left to push their radical agenda on the American people." --more--

"In a shocking turn of events journalists at the New York Times today found themselves "rightsized" following an editorial decision to move entirely to "AI-informed" reporting.

Senior sources at the paper said "In these times of economic hardship, tough decisions have to be made and the technology now exists to produce our hard-hitting and factual reporting at extremely competitive rates.""
