Christmas time is supposed to be relaxing, but I was up late last night dealing with a bunch of spirits who dragged me all around creation. I asked the AI for advice.

“ChatGPT,” I said, “last night I was visited by three ghosts who were trying to teach me some nonsense about generosity and the meaning of Christmas. What should I do?”

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about what to do in response to these ghostly visitors, it might be helpful to take some time to reflect on the lessons that they are trying to teach you,” ChatGPT said. “Are there any areas of your life where you could be more generous or compassionate? Are there any changes that you could make to become a better person and live a more fulfilling life?”

It went on. “It’s also important to remember that it’s okay to take things at your own pace and to make changes that feel authentic and meaningful to you. You don’t have to make big, dramatic changes all at once.”

Areas where I could be more generous or compassionate? No thanks. I guess I’ll have to figure out how to handle this on my own.
