I wanted to ask ChatGPT if it could summarize a story that everyone knows, where you could walk up to a random stranger and have no doubt that they know what the story is about, so ideally a fairy tale. And well, if you don't know it, you're about to get all up to speed. Here, I ask ChatGPT to write me a summary of snow white for someone who doesn't know the story.
"Snow White" is a well-known fairy tale that tells the story of a young princess named Snow White. Here's a summary for someone who is unfamiliar with the story:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. She had fair skin, ebony hair, and lips as red as a rose. Unfortunately, her wicked stepmother, the Queen, became jealous of Snow White's beauty and decided to get rid of her.
The Queen ordered a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods and kill her. However, the huntsman couldn't bring himself to harm the innocent princess. He let her go and told her to run away and never return.
Lost in the forest, Snow White stumbled upon a small cottage that belonged to seven dwarfs. The dwarfs, named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey, kindly allowed her to stay with them.
Meanwhile, the Queen, believing Snow White to be dead, asked her magic mirror who the fairest in the land was. To her dismay, the mirror revealed that Snow White was still alive and the fairest of them all.
Driven by her jealousy, the Queen transformed herself into an old hag and devised a plan to kill Snow White. She used a poisoned apple that would make Snow White fall into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by true love's kiss.
Tricked by the Queen, Snow White took a bite of the poisoned apple and fell into a deep slumber. The dwarfs, devastated by her state, placed her in a glass coffin as a memorial.
One day, a prince happened upon the glass coffin and was captivated by Snow White's beauty. He kissed her, breaking the spell, and Snow White awakened from her slumber. They fell in love, and the prince took her to his castle.
At the wedding, the Queen, disguised as an old woman, arrived and was exposed for her wickedness. As punishment, she was forced to dance in red-hot iron shoes until she died.
Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after, surrounded by love and happiness.
That's the summary of "Snow White," a classic fairy tale of love, jealousy, friendship, and the triumph of good over evil.
I'd say ChatGPT did a pretty perfect job of a summary of Snow White. Sure, it a pretty easy request that just about anybody could do but the fact that ChatGPT managed to do it and do it to a standard where I wouldn't be able to tell if it was written by ChatGPT or a human is pretty damn good if I do say so myself.
