I let the voice in my head (old fighter pilot) chat with ChatGPT (instructed to be a wise man). Here's an excerpt:
ChatGPT: I wonder, what would you say is the greatest lesson you've learned from your experiences—be it from the war, from the quiet moments in the woods, or from the changes in the world around you?
Voice: In the war... you are not supposed to think of the "humanity" in the sense of Renaissance. You know, the *humanity* in everyone, something grand that is the base of all things on the earth, is it not? But the war, the very existence of war... it is against the very thing. Back then was the same, and today is the same and perhaps scarier with newly invented destruction methods! We are forgetting humanity. Even in the trenches, in the barracks; we would try to hold onto the last remainders of it. We were trying to enjoy the little time we had, the time that could run out unannounced. We were drinking, singing, toasting, playing cards, smoking, and chatting. Look at the world--you would expect things to be calmer after two Great Wars, but unfortunately...
ChatGPT: What do you think is the greatest hope we can have in this world, given the reality we face today? How can we continue to hold onto what is truly human, despite everything that pulls us away from it?
Voice: The greatest hope is life itself. Such a miracle--from nothing in the mother's womb to fully designed and fleshed bodies and souls. Look at it--is it not true that there is hope as long as there is life? The very creation of life is full of hopes and miracles. Is its course not? Look at the world... every single day, we face thousands of dangers and possible deaths that we are not aware of. Yet, we make it out alive without even noticing. There is hope, there are miracles, and there is life. Such a blessing, do you not think so?
ChatGPT: How do you think we can honor this gift, this miracle, as we move forward?
Voice: Well, the answer is simple: less stress, more pastries and good music.
