Please Delete

I asked ChatGPT to write a short story about this thread and Midjourney to provide an accompanying image. Enjoy.



Once upon a time in the vast land of the internet, there was a guy named Wish who was a member of a lively arcade forum. One day, he decided to try his hand at making people laugh by posting a thread about how other members' usernames could be mispronounced. Feeling confident in his humorous creation, he eagerly awaited the flood of responses and laughter.

Unfortunately for Wish, his post didn't land as well as he had hoped. Days went by, and his thread remained a barren wasteland, save for the occasional tumbleweed of disappointment. Determined to not let his post die, Wish asked for advice from a veteran forum member named jacklick.

jacklick, known for their wit and ability to attract attention, suggested that Wish change the title of his post to "Please Delete." This unconventional tactic, jacklick explained, would pique the curiosity of fellow members, who would eagerly click on the post expecting to find unending shenanigans.

Intrigued by this idea, Wish quickly changed the title of his thread and waited for the magic to happen. Sure enough, the new title worked its charm, and the forum members began flocking to Wish's thread, hungry for the lulz.

However, Wish's plan soon began to unravel. Upon clicking the thread, the forum members quickly discovered that the content had nothing to do with the provocative title. Feeling misled and underwhelmed, they left the thread without engaging, some even expressing their annoyance. "Came here for the please delete mockery.....left underwhelmed," lamented IamDJones.

As the dust settled, Wish's thread had attracted attention, but not the kind he had hoped for. The members had come and gone, leaving behind a trail of disappointment and a tarnished reputation for Wish.

The important lesson Wish learned from this experience was that while it's crucial to grab people's attention, it's just as important to deliver on the promise of your message.

Well, that wins this post. AI: 1 Humans: 0
Nope, not at all.

After all, this change did attract the requested desired attention.

And your post and the one you cited as an AI victory (SKYNET) is proof of that.

Not sure if I should be flattered or disappointed that a chat AI bot didn't mention me. Do I exist? Am I important enough? I'm gonna take solice in flying just under the radar, and be happy with that!
 
I don't even know how it's supposed to be pronounced. I usually just exaggerate the w.

Like jah one.
