Read the ChatGPT AI robot's song lyrics about Powys

Well, we have. Intrigued by this growing world of robotic intelligence, we asked ChatGPT to write a set of lyrics for a song about Powys, and were astonished by what it came up with.

ChatGPT is a form of generative AI which has come to prominence in recent months after a version of it was released to the public last year.

It can respond to questions in a human-like manner and understand the context of follow-up queries much like in human conversations.

The command we gave it was simple: Write song lyrics about Powys.

This is what it came up with - it's pretty impressive, although whether the National Trust will welcome Powis Castle being described as a ruin we're not sure:

Powys, Powys, land of hills and valleys

Verse 1: In the heart of Wales, there's a land that's wild and free,

A place where mountains rise and rivers run to the sea,

It's Powys, the land of legend, where the past and present meet,

A place where nature reigns supreme, and beauty is complete.

Chorus: Powys, Powys, land of hills and valleys,

Where the air is pure and the skies are blue,

Powys, Powys, where the spirit of Wales lives,

And the magic of the land will shine through.

Verse 2: From the Brecon Beacons to the Cambrian Mountains high,

There's a sense of ancient mystery, that catches the eye,

The castle ruins of Powis, the churches of Llanfyllin,

Are just a few of the treasures, that are waiting to be seen.

Chorus: Powys, Powys, land of hills and valleys,

Where the air is pure and the skies are blue,

Powys, Powys, where the spirit of Wales lives,

And the magic of the land will shine through.

Verse 3: In the market towns of Powys, you can feel the heart of the land,

The warmth of the people, the crafts and the hand,

From Newtown to Knighton, from Llandrindod to Welshpool,

There's a welcome here for all, a sense of community rule.

Chorus: Powys, Powys, land of hills and valleys,

Where the air is pure and the skies are blue,

Powys, Powys, where the spirit of Wales lives,

And the magic of the land will shine through.

Verse 4: So come and explore Powys, and see the beauty for yourself,

From the rugged peaks to the gentle streams, it's a land of wealth,

The history and the culture, the language and the pride,

It's a place that's truly special, where your heart will reside.

Chorus: Powys, Powys, land of hills and valleys,

Where the air is pure and the skies are blue,

Powys, Powys, where the spirit of Wales lives,

And the magic of the land will shine through.
