This artwork was created by OpenAI’s application DALL·E. This poem was written by an algorithm called ChatGPT. A human, Lara Aucamp, asked ChatGPT the following: “Write me a poem about sitting in traffic in the morning on the way to work.” It was proofread for spelling, but no words or sentences were changed.
***
As I sit in traffic on this morning drive,
My mind begins to wander and I start to contrive
A world where the roads are clear and wide,
Where I can glide along without a care in sight.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue,
And I am surrounded by a sea of cars, all stuck like glue.
We inch along, our engines humming,
As the minutes tick by and our patience is coming
To an end.
But still, I find a certain peace of mind
In the monotony of this daily grind.
For even though I'm stuck in place,
I'm moving forward at my own steady pace.
And so I sit and wait my turn,
Watching the world go by and trying to learn
To appreciate the journey, not just the destination,
For it's in the moments that we find true elation.
So here’s to sitting in traffic on this morning drive,
May it be a reminder to slow down and enjoy the ride.
