Did a Bot Write this Obituary - The Monday Morning Memo

When someone sent me this “obituary written by a bot,” I forwarded it to Cedric so that he could ask Chat GPT for an AI opinion.

“Harold began to wonder who was going to drive his hearse at his funeral. He wondered where that guy was right now or if he was even alive right now? Maybe he was a baby right now sucking milk from his mother’s breast and then he thought the next time he sees a baby breastfeeding he’s going to look at him and imagine to himself, ‘That baby is going to grow up and drive my hearse’ and then he imagined that he would want to go over and say hi to that baby but he knew he couldn’t because the mother would think he came over to see one of her tits and she couldn’t in a million years realize why he really went over there which was to see that baby, that little baby that might someday drive his hearse. But maybe the driver is an adult already and if he knew who it was wouldn’t it be great to go for a ride with him in the hearse just to see what kind of driver he is? And that way when he was dead in the hearse it would be the second time he was in it and then he would already be a little bit used to it.”
