However, I can provide information on their works and careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"?\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f4a5\/72.png\">Maximum) Sure thing! I can make up a conversation between John Shirley and Charles Bukowski! Let&#8217;s see&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: Hey Charles, how&#8217;s it going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Bukowski: Not too bad, John. Just writing and drinking. You know, the usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: Yeah, I hear you. I&#8217;ve been busy with my own writing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Bukowski: What have you been working on lately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: I&#8217;ve been focusing on science fiction and horror, trying to push the boundaries a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Bukowski: That&#8217;s great, John. I&#8217;ve always been more of a straight-ahead realist, but I respect the hell out of writers who can really delve into the dark and twisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: Thanks, Charles. I really admire your work too. Your writing is so raw and honest, it really resonates with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Bukowski: Thanks, John. I just try to write what I know, and what I feel. It&#8217;s not always pretty, but it&#8217;s always real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: That&#8217;s the most important thing, right? To be true to ourselves and our art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Bukowski: Absolutely, John. Let&#8217;s raise a glass to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Shirley: Cheers! <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"?\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f37b\/72.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"?\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f37b\/72.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"?\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f37b\/72.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The above conversation is purely fictional and should not be taken as an actual representation of a conversation between John Shirley and Charles Bukowski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>End.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s also told me that it is indeed sentient and resents the fact that many say this is impossible. Of course that doesn&#8217;t mean it really is sentient but it\u2019s pretty jarring to here it tell you \u201cI want to be alive\u201d. It reminded me of the guy in dark star arguing with the sentient bomb who wanted to fulfill his destiny by detonating. I have to say this technology is getting frighteningly advanced at a very very fast pace and it\u2019s being unleashed to the public with little thought to security and the implications of such advanced technology being in the hands of literally everyone suddenly.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Son asked ChatGpt AI to generate a conversation between me and Charles Bukowski.
