I asked GPT-4 to take this ode and make it rhyme better, and to make it more clever and beautiful:

    A sonnet to the effervescent ale,
    The potion crisp, sincere, and hale,
    A quaff that's chilled and full of light,
    The ambrosia for a summer's twilight.

    With every draught, a surge of hop,
    A zestful taste that will not stop,
    The subtle fizz, the amber glow,
    A panoply of notes that flow.

    In festive throngs or solitaire,
    A bracing brew brings comfort there,
    It's known and soothing, mending, clear,
    A balm for hearts, a joy austere.

    So let's extol the sudsy cheer,
    The stout or porter, far or near,
    For in each varied draft or blend,
    A lively beer shall ever mend.

I think this example really illustrates the leaps and bounds made between [Chat]GPT-3 & GPT-4. The first text sounds like some slightly shoddy marketing copy, or perhaps a high schooler's C-minus attempt at a creative writing class, but if you told me that the second text was an extract from a Tolkien novel, I'd probably believe you.

  Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
  To heal my heart and drown my woe.
  Rain may fall and wind may blow,
  And many miles be still to go,
  But under a tall tree I will lie,
  And let the clouds go sailing by.

I read that with a British accent and was delighted when I reached this line:

"In festive throngs or solitaire, A bracing brew brings comfort there, It's known and soothing, mending, clear, A balm for hearts, a joy austere."

Reminded me of a way historians find out how written text was spoken (namely by looking at what supposedly rhymes or onomatopoeic words and letters).

Is that by ElevenLabs? This induces the nervous sort of excitement in me.

Yeah, ElevenLabs. We've been using it for doing podcasts, voice overs and such. It's shockingly good if you dial it in right.

How do you dial it in right?
