Naturally, I assumed I had broken it.In this humorous story, I read about my bewildering first encounter with ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, large language models, and the deeply suspicious experience of having a machine attempt to hold a conversation with me.\nA story about technology, sons who have run out of patience, naïve questions, misunderstood instructions, and the moment I discovered that searching the internet had changed while I was not looking.\nWritten and read by Easter Ellen.\nWelcome. \nI write stories, reflections, and imagine entire worlds. Some are arguably true, some are suspiciously borrowed from memory, some are robustly exaggerated, and some are made up entirely from the pure delight of imagining.\nMostly, I write what persists stubbornly enough that I can no longer ignore it.\nIf you enjoy these pieces, subscribe so you do not miss the next one.\nYou can find more of my writing, reflections, audio pieces, and creative work at easterellen.com.\nYou can also find me on YouTube at Easterellen, where I share longer stories, thoughts, and conversations about change, choice, self-trust, and moving forward.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8nX4bGNi_hks-Xl0BtzpJZaBVoyWFP1U1swsbhFtFJU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82MzJk/ZWMwNDM4YTYzNzNi/NjQ4NDMyOTY0ZGQ4/ZTllYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
