Okay, great. Good tips. Time to try it out. Let me try using a prompt to change the tone of one of my favorite quotes:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, Excerpt from the speech “Citizenship In A Republic”
delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910
Prompt: Use humor to lighten the tone of the copy.
ChatGPT response: Well, well, well... looks like we have a real winner here! It's not about the critics, folks - it's about the one who's actually out there getting dirty, working hard, and making things happen. Sure, mistakes happen, but that's all part of the game. Keep striving, keep pushing, and you'll achieve greatness. And if you happen to fall short, well, at least you went down swinging. You're better than those who never tried at all.
Bard Response:
Sure, here is a lighter version of the quote using humor: "It's not the critic who counts, it's the doer. So get out there and make some mistakes! You'll learn more from failing than you ever will from succeeding." This version of the quote is still inspiring, but it's also more lighthearted and fun. It reminds us that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as we're learning from them.
Personally, I like the original. :-)
