ChatGPT vs. Me

I Gave ChatGPT the idea, it wrote the story. Who gets credit?

I asked ChatGPT to write a dystopian cypherpunk story with Elon Musk as the villain and the Bored Ape Yacht club as a force for good.

We’ve read tweets this week like, “This is the end of homework.” in response to ChatGPT’s ability to simply complete the work for you. I challenge that with the idea that homework will evolve. Just like calculator was the “end of homework.” The internet was the, “end of homework.” ChatGPT will be another tool to use with your homework.

I asked ChatGPT, “Write a dystopian cyberpunk 1000 word story where Elon Musk is the evil villain and the Bored Ape Yacht club is a force of good. Bitcoin is the dominant currency and priced at $1,200,000 per coin.”

ChatGPT responded with:

The Bored Ape Yacht Club Takes on Elon Musk and His Bitcoin Empire

It was a dark and stormy night in Neo-San Francisco. The city was a dystopian nightmare, ruled by the iron fist of Elon Musk and his army of ruthless mercenaries. The once-glorious metropolis was now a shadow of its former self, a bleak and desolate place where only the strongest could survive.

In the midst of this chaos, a group of rebels known as the Bored Ape Yacht Club fought against Musk’s tyrannical rule. Led by their fearless leader, a wise and battle-hardened ape named Charlie, they fought tirelessly to bring freedom and justice back to the city.

But their task was not an easy one. Musk was a powerful and ruthless opponent, with access to cutting-edge technology and a vast fortune. His empire was built on the backs of the city’s inhabitants, who were forced to mine the valuable cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin in order to survive.

One coin was worth a staggering $1,200,000, a fortune that most could only dream of. But for Musk and his cronies, it was just another day’s work. They cared nothing for the suffering of the people, and would stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power.

Despite the odds, the Bored Ape Yacht Club refused to give up. They continued to fight for their beliefs, using every trick in the book to outmaneuver Musk and his forces. They struck from the shadows, using their cunning and guile to evade detection and launch devastating attacks on Musk’s strongholds.

But Musk was not to be underestimated. He was always one step ahead of the rebels, using his vast resources and advanced technology to track them down and crush them. Many brave members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club fell in battle, their sacrifice a grim reminder of the price of resistance.

Still, the rebels refused to give up. Charlie and his loyal followers continued to fight, driven by their determination to bring freedom back to Neo-San Francisco. And slowly but surely, they began to gain ground. More and more citizens joined their cause, inspired by their bravery and determination.

As the rebellion grew in strength, Musk grew increasingly desperate. He threw everything he had at the rebels, but they continued to fight on, their spirits unbroken. In the end, it was the people who proved to be Musk’s downfall. As the rebellion swept across the city, the inhabitants rose up and joined the fight, turning against Musk and his forces.

In the end, it was the Bored Ape Yacht Club who emerged victorious. The city was free at last, and the people celebrated their hard-won victory. Charlie and his loyal followers were hailed as heroes, and the city began to rebuild, determined to create a better future for all.

But even in victory, the Bored Ape Yacht Club knew that their work was not yet done. Musk was still out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for his chance to strike again. And they would be ready, always vigilant, always ready to defend their newfound freedom.

I thought there should be a punk version so I asked ChatGPT to replace BAYC with Crypto Punks, “Now replace Bored Ape Yacht Club with Crypto Punks.”
