Explain the job of a farrier in the form of a Shakespearean play
[Act I, Scene I]
(Enter Farrier)
FARRIER:
Hark! The clippings of the hooves doth ring,
And calls me to my duty as a king.
A master of my craft, a skilled workere
To tend to horses, both in stables and on lea.
(Enter horse)
HORSE:
Oh Farrier, my feet doth ache and pain,
And I doth struggle to walk in the rain.
FARRIER:
Fear not, good steed, for I am here to aid
Your hooves I'll trim, and shoes I'll have made.
(He trims and shoes the horse)
HORSE:
Oh Farrier, my feet doth feel anew,
I shall gallop with strength and vigor, it is true!
FARRIER:
'Tis but my duty, to keep thee sound
And to this task, I am ever bound.
(Exit horse)
FARRIER:
But my duties do not end with shoe and trim
I must also tend to illness and limb.
With knowledge of anatomy and medicine,
I strive to keep each horse in prime condition.
(Exit Farrier)
(Curtain falls)
There you are. Get that little story printed up with appropriate Old English Type font and you have your own unique Shakesperian promotion leaflet. Add a pretty picture of an older horse (not modern look) and they'll slip off their seats wanting you to service their steed..LMAO

As a copywriter, I’ve spent years honing my craft and perfecting my ability to craft compelling and persuasive copy. But now, it seems that my job is at risk of being taken over by ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI.

“Write an article on ‘What is payment gateway?’” I recently typed into a ChatGPT window. ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-powered writing generator, quickly obliged.
The result was impressive. Sure, the tone was inhuman and the structure as sophisticated as a college essay, but the key points, the grammar and the syntax were all spot on. After a bit of a punch-up, it was perfectly passable as a sponsored content article designed to drum up business leads for a software provider – an article like the one that I, a professional copywriter, had just spent hours writing.
My amusement quickly turned to horror: it had taken ChatGPT roughly 30 seconds to create, for free, an article that I charged £500 for. The artificial intelligence software is by no means perfect – yet. For businesses that rely on churning out reams of fresh copy, however, it’s a no-brainer, isn’t it?
For those unfamiliar with ChatGPT, let me explain. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-based chatbot that’s been trained to interact with users in a natural, conversational way. Unlike traditional language models, ChatGPT can learn to generate responses without explicit instructions on what the correct answer is. Users can make any request – from Tell me about Watergate to Write an opinion piece about ChatGPT taking someone’s job – and ChatGPT will produce a response. If you run it through a plagiarism checker, you’ll discover that that content is 100% unique.
I instructed ChatGPT to write a version of this article. Here’s how it opened:
Scary stuff. And think about this. After you finish tidying up the articles they will probably be published on the web in some form. Just like a billion other pieces of information.Hmmm
I write technical articles for my profession. While most cases the technical knowledge is second nature to me, it's a matter of typing it out and using language which is both technically correct and simple enough for most of the troglodytes in trade to understand.
That takes time.
I've given the machine a few topics and in less than a minute blitzes out 7.5/10 articles that I may only have to spend 20 minutes or so tidying up... But completely usable in their own right.
Bear in mind mine is a very specialised and tiny field in the grand scheme of things

Microsoft bought it so expect a monthly fee for a professional version.I wonder how long it's going to be free.
