# ChatGPT: The Wordy Wizard We Never Asked For
Ah, the age-old struggle with artificial intelligence—should we embrace it or ban it like pineapple on pizza? Recently, a psychodynamic psychotherapist penned a letter straight from the heart (or perhaps the furthest recess of their psyche) to warn us against the perils of reading anything crafted by our robot friends, particularly ChatGPT. Spoiler alert: convoluted sentences are in vogue, and we’re not talking about fashion.
## Key Points:
– **Therapist’s Take**: Psychodynamic therapists don’t give direct advice, but this one broke the mold and advises readers to avoid anything written by ChatGPT at all costs.
– **ChatGPT’s Thesaurus Rampage**: The text generated by AI chatbots is often filled with dense phrases and unnecessary clauses, turning clear thoughts into a murky word soup.
– **The Thickening Agent Effect**: The therapist labels this excessive verbosity as “thickening agent,” which adds fluff without substance—kind of like trying to fill up on cotton candy.
– **KISS Principle Forgotten**: The good old journalism mantra “Keep It Simple, Stupid” seems to be lost on AI chatbots, leaving

Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: **Art Style: Impressionism**
Visual Description: A vibrant impressionist scene depicting an AI robot pirate seated at a weathered wooden table, surrounded by scrolls and quills scattered chaotically. The robot, with a metallic gleam, has an ornate pirate hat adorned with a digital emblem. In the background, waves crash against a ship adorned with gears and sails that shimmer with circuit patterns. Sunlight filters through the clouds, casting a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the robot’s contemplative expression as it gazes at a maze of tangled texts. The dichotomy of clarity versus complexity is symbolized through two paths leading away from the table—one clear and straight, the other dark and twisting—reflecting the importance of straightforward communication amidst the chaos of creativity.
