I think you may have used the default, which is GPT3.5.

GPT4 did a little bit better, but still has a ways to
go for such mash-ups:

Me:
state the formula for special relativity in haiku form, please

ChatGPT:
Speed of light constant,
Time and space intertwine, warp.
E equals mc squared.

Me:
please try again, but constrain the final stanza to 5 syllables. The word
"is" can be substituted for "equals".

ChatGPT:
Light speed unwavering,
In space and time, melding dance,
E is mc squared.

Me:
keep the final stanza the same, but the first line has to be shortened to
5 syllables, please rewrite that

ChatGPT:
Light speed stays steadfast,
In space and time, melding dance,
E is mc squared.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Is that any better?

It's a pseudo-intelligent child that must have its hand held to
get its answers anywhere near correct. Perhaps it will be more
impressive when it's grown up a bit.

How about _you_ try writing the haiku you want, and see how well _you_
do, hmm? ;) Seriously, it's like you're strangling it, then complaining
that it chokes.

I've found it really good at creative brainstorm type tasks. I don't
think you've given it enough of a chance.

please write a description of special relativity in iambic pentameter

ChatGPT
When space and time as one unite,
In Einstein's vision, pure and bright,
This world, it tells a tale so vast,
In relativity recast.

Objects not at rest, we find,
Twist the cloth of space and time.
Motion seen through different eyes,
Time's own rhythm does revise.

And speed of light, it stands supreme,
In this world that's not what seems.
Despite our haste, despite our strife,
It stays constant in its life.

In all frames, no matter which,
Light speed shows no preference, glitch.
This fact does mean that time must flow,
At different rates, this truth we know.

The slower ticks the cosmic clock,
As speeds approach light's steadfast rock.
A paradox? It may seem so,
Yet tests in science make it so.

Space contracts, as well it might,
As speed of light is reached in flight.
An object's length, in motion's thrall,
To observers seems to fall.

This is the truth that Einstein gave,
A universe both strange and brave.
In every planet, star, and city,
Lies the heart of special relativity.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

For bonus points: If I'm not mistaken,
I know of a flaw with Einstein's elevator analogy:

With sensitive enough equipment, you can tell if
the elevator is in a gravity field vs. accelerating:

In a gravity field, gravity will be less at the top of the elevator car
than at the bottom, but it will measure the same in an elevator (or a
spacecraft) that is accelerating. ...change my mind! ;)

A chance at what? Is it meant to be useful or is it
a generator of artistic (heh) verbal burble? I gave
it a task and it failed repeatedly.

Verbal burble ensues - skip to end
I wouldn't dream of trying.

FTR I agree with your gravity thesis, for the local case at least.
