"Great." I thought, "First day in here and I'm already married."

OUCH!  Your getting a little too true to lift there.....   :)

I'm going to absolutely cheat

Time to take this up a notch ( and also get my money's worth ), I'm going to absolutely cheat and use ChatGPT :

Me : Can you write a pun based on the saying "one swallow does not make a spring" ?

Why did the birdwatcher insist that one swallow wasn't enough to signal spring?

Because he didn't want to be left with egg on his face when the weather turned fowl!

Not a terrible answer, but try this challenge :

Me : Can you write a self referential pun about ChatGPT based on the saying "one swallow does not make a spring" ?

Why did ChatGPT insist that one chat interaction wasn't enough to spring into action?

Because just like one swallow doesn't make a spring, one query doesn't make a conversation bloom!

A bit tart there, and so for a real show-off :

Me : Can you write a self referential limerick based upon the saying "one swallow does not make a spring" ?

In the realm of language, I'm king,

With responses that dance and sing.

But remember, my friend,

As our conversations blend,

One query won't make ChatGPT spring!

No wonder the teachers are annoyed with it ! The finale :

Me : Can you write a joke about teachers not liking ChatGPT ?

Why don't teachers like ChatGPT?

Because it always has the "write" answers without needing detention!

{ Ooooh, what a clever poppet ! I luv the way it gets the sense of the self referential bit correct. At least Mr Turing would be pleased. It will be 70 years this coming June 7 since he died at the age of 41 ( too soon for sure ). For me Alan's life is why we ought not just tolerate, but actually accept, people of differing orientations. Nuff said. }

Cheers, Mike.

Snicker.  I assume the tree's aren't in danger anymore either.  :)
