I asked chatGPT to write a poem about marshall mcLuhan, media study, GPT-4 and the maelstrom. Here's the answer:

Marshall McLuhan, a media sage,

Proposed ideas that are still all the rage,

The medium is the message, he said,

Our understanding of it, ever spread.

In his time, TV was the new wave,

But today, AI is what we crave,

GPT-4, the newest in town,

Will it bring us up, or take us down?

The maelstrom of media, swirling around,

With information lost, and truth unfound,

McLuhan's theories still hold so true,

In a world where media's vast and new.

The medium itself, a message profound,

Transforming culture, with each new sound,

The maelstrom swirls, as GPT-4 looms,

With power and potential, like a sonic boom.

But amidst the chaos, let us not forget,

McLuhan's wisdom, a guiding net,

To navigate the seas of media deep,

And in its maelstrom, our values keep.

For media's power, we cannot ignore,

Its impact felt, like never before,

But with McLuhan's insights in hand,

We can steer a course, toward a brighter land.

I demand comedic poetry night with GPT-4 on speaker. 🔊 Best use of the thing I can think of so far. Should be booed off stage soon enough! Thanks for the prompt though. 👍
