Ahh I wasn't sure if the "As not written by ChatGPT" bit was you being cheeky or not...
You nailed the uncanniness of AI writing. A human, imitating AI, imitating a human?
While reading I was imaging the prompt would have been "Write a short story of a wistful old man who wants a Rolex submariner, but can't get one, in the style of Ernest Hemingway"
edit: I should have read the comments on last post
The old man sat in front of the typewriter and knew he should use a computer. But the computer was clean and new and the typewriter was an old friend. He looked at his wrist with the pale stripe where a watch should be. Where did it go? Then he remembered, he had traded the watch for the last flight out of Havana before the revolution. How long before his wrist would tan like his arm? He did not know and did not care. He was old and had no reason to tell the time.
The true Turing Test...romantic regret ; ). Also, Jack that last line hit a little close to home. My soul aches a little haha. Now I need to go drink a bottle of Pommard in a good vintage, which is not a lunchtime wine
Today at Apple we are excited to announce the iCrisis--a fully automated, AI driven, state of the art existential crisis. No more are you forced to look into the deep recesses of your soul only to find a hollow pit void of all meaning, now our Siri enable AI will evaluate every dimension of your life looking for that key moment where it all when wrong. Warning, phone may refuse to turn on while muttering "why, why, why" to itself for an indeterminate period of time. Exclusively for AT&T base models starting $2,000 or $4,000 to have your iCrisis in rose gold
I would love to know what the prompt was for this.
There wasn't one, I wrote it myself as a sort of test case :)

Lord, that was good... in the worst sort of way.
Thanks Ed that was what I was shooting for ;)

LOL when a bot can give rise to an internal state of impotent regret then we'll know AI research is onto something.
