Ever since it was opened to the public six days ago, [more than a million users]() have used the algorithm to spit out anything from [prompts for AI image generators]() to made up ["Seinfeld" scenes](). Now, Boston Globe general manager Matt Karolian took things to their natural conclusion by [asking the system]() to cook up a "steamy, love scene featuring Yoda and Chewbacca." It's a cursed prompt that could just as easily provoke tears of laughter — or horror. ## Now Kiss Karolian shared the lustful and surprisingly graphic love story in a Twitter thread, where it demonstrated its characteristic mix of surprisingly deep semantic knowledge — honestly, this AI knows who yoda is? — and total BS. "As Yoda and Chewbacca lay in bed together, the warmth of their bodies entwined in a lover's embrace, they gazed into each other's eyes, their love and passion burning bright," the system wrote. But that's when the story really starts to pick up, with the two fictional "Star Wars" characters locking lips in a "fiery kiss" while "Chewbacca's rough, calloused hands gently caressed Yoda's wrinkled skin, sending shivers down the small Jedi Master's spine." ## Homework Bot Outside of blasphemous fan fiction, other users have come up with even more impressive tasks for ChatGPT to complete. For instance, a journalism professor found that it was surprisingly good at [writing undergraduate-level essays](). An engineer was also shocked at the AI's ability to explain practically "any [concept to any level you specify]()." In one example, he directed it to describe the concept of mass spectrometry to a six-year-old. In short, sure, ChatGPT may actually have some legitimate use cases — but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have some cringey fun with the new tool as well. **More on ChatGPT:** *[Professors Alarmed by New AI That Writes Essays About as Well as Undergrads]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
