ChatGPT is a new chatbot that demonstrates remarkable capabilities.

I asked it to write a short story:

write a short story about a boy finding an alien imprisoned by the government and then helps him escape.

This is the story ChatGPT generated:

The sun was setting over the small town of Willow Creek as 10-year-old Jake walked home from school. As he passed by the old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, he heard a strange noise coming from inside.
Curious, Jake carefully made his way to the entrance and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw a small, blue-skinned alien chained to the wall. The alien looked up at Jake with fear in its eyes.
Jake quickly realized that the government must have imprisoned the alien for some unknown reason. He knew he had to help it escape.
He ran back home and gathered some tools from his garage, then returned to the warehouse. Working quickly, he managed to unlock the alien's chains and free it.
The alien was overjoyed and thanked Jake for his help. Together, they snuck out of the warehouse and ran into the forest, where they managed to escape the government agents who were searching for the alien.
As they reached the safety of the trees, the alien turned to Jake and said, "You are a true friend. I will never forget what you have done for me."
Jake smiled and replied, "It was the least I could do. You're not alone anymore." And with that, the two of them set off into the unknown, ready to start a new adventure together.

Not bad. I think the capabilities for AI has turned a corner… for better or for worse.
