I asked the Chatgpt AI to create a story about a photographer in the form of an ancient legend, and this is what it wrote...
The Photography Student
There once was a photography student who dreamed of becoming the greatest photographer in all the land. He had a natural talent for capturing the beauty of the world around him, but he knew that he still had much to learn.
One day, the student decided that he would seek out a great photography master in the hopes of gaining some valuable wisdom and guidance. He traveled far and wide, searching high and low, until he finally found the master in a remote village nestled in the mountains.
The student approached the master with great reverence and asked if he might be willing to share his knowledge. The master, who was known for his kindness and generosity, agreed and began to teach the student all that he knew about the art of photography.
The student listened attentively, taking in every word that the master said. He was fascinated by the master's insights and techniques, and he knew that he had found a true mentor.
But as the days passed, the student began to realize that he had no intention of using the wisdom that the master had imparted to him. He was content to simply listen and learn, but he had no desire to put the knowledge into practice.
When the master noticed this, he asked the student why he had sought him out if he did not plan to use what he had learned. The student was at a loss for words, and he realized that he had wasted the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest masters in the land.
"Wisdom is not just to know, but to act on what you know," the master said. From that day on, the student vowed to use the wisdom he had gained to become the greatest photographer that he could be.
Okay, wow! I have been totally guilty of this! Does it resonate with you too?
