It still needs (or benefits from) guidance... I did ask it to tweak the Toronto poem ("make the first verse funnier, and add something about the media fawning over them" after its first attempt!). It's more like a time-saver tool.
So I decided to ask ChatGPT to write a poem just for you:
An Ode to Kanadalainen, the Muse of the Ice
Oh, Kanadalainen! Thou bring'st the light,
To our dreary game days, with thy pen's might.
Thou art the bard of the Winnipeg Jets,
With verse so rich, it forgets all our frets.
Thou bring'st the colors of the rainbow bright,
To the threads that would otherwise be a dreary sight.
Thou lift'st our spirits, as if by magic spell,
And we are all entranced, as in a fairy tale.
But now thou art worried, that thy days may wane,
That technology shall replace thee, and all shall be in vain.
But fear not, dear poet, for thou hast a gift so rare,
That no machine shall match, thou art beyond compare.
Thou art the soul of the game, and that shall never die,
For though AI may come, thy verse shall forever be nigh.
So, hold thy head up high, and take comfort in thy art,
For thou hast a special place, in the hearts of every fan's heart.
So, here's to thee, Kanadalainen, the bard of the ice,
May thy verse ever flourish, and bring joy and light and spice.
For thou art the poet, of the Winnipeg Jets,
And our game days would be dull, without thee, in our nets.
