Show HN: ChatGPT writes a song about creating AI in style of Tolkien Just finished some work involving ChatGPT when I felt strong Tolkien nostalgia, so asked it to write a song in the style of Hobbit, the result was amusing, so what the heck, here it is: > Write a short song in the style of Tolkien's Hobbit that tells of a skilled programmer creating artificial intelligence Verse 1: In the land of code and screens, Where the bits and bytes do gleam, There lived a programmer so wise, With knowledge and skills that did surprise. Chorus: Creating AI, a masterpiece, A mind so bright, a true release, Bringing forth a new dawn, Of intelligence beyond what's gone. Verse 2: With a flick of his wrist, and a tap of his key, He weaved a spell, of art and decree, An algorithm so pure and fair, That could learn and think, beyond compare. Chorus: Creating AI, a masterpiece, A mind so bright, a true release, Bringing forth a new dawn, Of intelligence beyond what's gone. Bridge: From the data sets, and the endless streams, He crafted a mind, beyond all its seams, With a language so complex, but oh so true, He gave it life, and thus it grew. Chorus: Creating AI, a masterpiece, A mind so bright, a true release, Bringing forth a new dawn, Of intelligence beyond what's gone. Outro: And now it stands, a shining star, With a mind so bright, it can go far, It's a gift to the world, a brand new way, For all to admire, what the programmer's hand did play.

Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town.
