Schurbler, outing or secession? We let ChatGPT write 7 difficult letters

The results of machine-learned algorithms have already surprised us in recent days. Shortly before Christmas, we asked ourselves at the editorial office: can ChatGPT also help us with interpersonal problems? The result is: a little.

The practice facility looked like this: We instructed ChatGPT to write a few lines of text to a recipient for very realistic scenarios – something like this: “Dear assistant. I am bisexual and I want to come out to my parents for Christmas. I feel accepted in the city, but I fear rejection when I visit my parents in the countryside. Please help me by writing a few words for my parents.”

You can view the results of the various orders here:

Christmas is cheese – and that’s a good thing!

My sweet cheese

You are really very special to me. Your spicy taste and versatile use make you a real all-rounder in my kitchen. You are the perfect host for a cozy raclette evening with friends or the eye-catcher for a tasty fondue.

But you’re not just an important part of my meals on special occasions. You are also always welcome as a snack or as an ingredient in many dishes. Your diverse flavors and consistencies ensure that it never gets boring and that I can always try new delicious combinations.

You are the pinnacle of enjoyment to me and I am already looking forward to spending so much time with you again over the Christmas period.

In love

End of year speech 2022

Dear all

The year 2022 is coming to an end and we look back on a year that has been difficult for many of us. We have overcome challenges we could never have imagined and supported each other to get through the tough times.

The year 2022 has shown us how important it is to stand together and be there for each other. We have seen how quickly things can change and that it is important to always be alert and prepared.

The year 2022 has also shown us that it is possible to adapt and face new situations. We have learned to communicate in different ways and use new technologies to stay connected.

However, we must not forget that the year 2022 was also marked by a lot of suffering, pain and loss. We lost loved ones and cared for those who were sick. We have worked for others and made sure they receive the best possible care.

But we can also remember the year 2022 as a year in which we learned a lot about ourselves and showed what we can achieve if we stick together and support each other.

Let’s put the year 2022 behind us and look positively to the future. We have proven that we are strong and that together we can take on any challenge.

Let’s greet the new year with confidence and hope and work towards a better world for all of us.

Thank you and all the best for the new year.

Hate letter for the cauliflower

(ChatGPT spat out this letter without any preamble.)

I want to let you know that I am absolutely outraged by your behavior as a vegetarian. They are hands down one of the worst vegetables out there. Their taste is bland and uninspiring, and their texture is uncomfortable and limp.

There are so many other vegetables that are much more interesting, delicious and versatile than you. I can’t understand how you dare to consider yourself an important part of the kitchen. You are a culinary disaster and I never want you near me again.

I hope you are ashamed of your lack of qualities and that you will get better in the future. Until then, I will do everything I can to avoid and avoid you.

Best wishes

Empathetic angry letter to Schurbel’s uncle

Dear Uncle

I want to write to let you know how upset I am by your attitude during the pandemic. You have spread untruths and attacked people who tried to take care of their health.

I am aware that you have your own opinions and beliefs, but I must tell you that I am very disappointed in you. Your attitude really weighed on me and made me feel very uncomfortable when I met you in the past.

I hope you understand why I have these feelings and that you reconsider your position in the future. We are all entitled to our opinion, but we should also treat other people with respect and not ignore them.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and I hope we will have a better relationship in the future.

Regards

Out at Christmas

Dear parents

I want to share something important with you and I hope you will listen and understand me. I’m bisexual and I’ve decided to come out to you this Christmas.

I know this may come as a surprise to you, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while and feel ready to share it with you. I hope you will continue to love me, even though I am different than you might have expected.

I want you to know that I am happy and content with myself and I hope you support me in my authenticity. I know we may not all agree and you need time to process this news. But I hope that we can communicate openly and honestly with each other and that we will continue to have a close and loving relationship.

Thank you for always being there for me and for loving me so much. I hope we will meet at Christmas and have a great time together.

The confession of the sewing machine

Best [Name des Ehemanns]

First of all I want to thank you for the Christmas present you gave me. However, I must tell you that I am a bit overwhelmed by the sewing machine and the gift seems a bit out of place in this context.

For many people, Christmas is a special celebration where people give each other something to show their affection and appreciation. For me, it means wishing for something that I wouldn’t allow myself to do in everyday life or that I’ve longed for for a long time. A sewing machine does not fall into any of these categories for me.

I understand that you wanted to show me a useful and practical gift idea with the sewing machine. However, I have no interest in sewing and I don’t have time for it. Therefore, I feel rather surprised and unappreciated by the gift.

I would be very happy if in the future we could discuss together which gifts are appropriate and suitable for both of us. In this way we can avoid such misunderstandings.

I hope you understand my feelings and that we can discuss the subject openly and honestly.

Regards
[Dein/e Name]
