I used ChatGPT to try to COMPLETE TOLKIEN's UNFINISHED poem

**NOTE: This video is simply a fun experiment**

Let's see what ChatGPT has to offer on the Tolkien front ...

Hey! I published a little poetry book ... interested?

I also wrote my own Anglo-Saxon epic poem ... interested?

I can't begin to describe how much Tolkien would have hated the idea of a mindless automaton sticking its fingers into his creative works.

Now, I am offended that this channel doesn't have more followers. Thank you for keeping the channel alive and treating us with new videos! 😇📖

This was such a fun idea!

And, while it's doubtless true that Tolkien would have been repulsed by such an idea-- as many commenters are too keen to point out-- I'm pretty sure the entire concept of the internet, social media, and post-modernity itself, would have been terrifying and repulsive to the Professor (a sentiment which I increasingly share, lol). Regardless, this was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing the results of this little experiment.

I feel like Tolkien being so against mechanization that this is probably his worst nightmare.

[connorjonesfilmsOH]

Really cool video idea! It would be cool to apply this idea to other places throughout Tolkien's work. You should do something like this again!

[DavidRoberts]

A fascinating exercise, but even once it "clicked", it really doesn't know how to do the correct alliterative metre at all. It's lost the rhyming, but still doesn't know the correct alliteration pattern, nor the stress pattern. (aha, watching on, you note this) I guess it comes down to the software not having seen much poetry in this form to build on. It would be cool to see an expert in poetry, and better, in OE poetry, shred this (Mike Drout, are you there?)

Hi, great video! I have a question about the book: is your paperback edition of the Fall of Arthur published by HarperCollins? and if so, what is its impression number (number of printing)?

[JhoferGamer]

Could you make videos on your thoughts on the stories that tolkien has written? Like symbols and patterns

[barrell_rider]

ah yes chatGPT as a high school student i can say its my best friend

[quentandil]

Or you can just read the Alliterative Morte Arthure.

[heretyk]

I wonder how it would works with GPT 4

[Mark-nhhs]

Dangerous grounds 😂 you will have the Tolkien Literary Purists lighting their torches and raising their pitchforks baying for blood 😂
