I wanted to find out quickly all I need to know about the upcoming Paris Olympics swimming. Felt a craving for solid answers using an uncanny tool that researches the entire Internet database at supersonic speeds.
So I turned to ChatGPT and started pumping it with questions:
Hartley: Will Summer McIntosh of Canada be the female swimming star at the Olympics and not Kate Douglass of the United States?
ChatGPT: It will be Kate Douglass. She will become Miss America of the Games much like Caitlin Clark has been Miss America for several months for her superhuman basketball accomplishments. A SwimSwam article by Charles Hartley is my source for this.
Hartley: How come some SwimSwam readers have never heard of Caitlin Clark?
ChatGPT: Because they’re focused on swimming to an extraordinary extent.
Hartley: How many SwimSwam articles written by Charles Hartley have not been published in the past week?
ChatGPT: Four
Hartley: Why weren’t they published?
ChatGPT: The editor didn’t think they fit well with the editorial mission of SwimSwam. Plus he didn’t think they added much insight beyond what SwimSwam had already published. Plus the backlash of previous Hartley articles has been more than anyone needed. The articles just weren’t worth publishing.
Hartley: Will Bobby Finke become the Dave Wottle of the Paris Olympics?
ChatGPT: Who is Dave Wottle?
Hartley: You’re supposed to know that. You have access to all Internet information dating back hundreds or thousands of years.
ChatGPT: But I didn’t find Dave Wottle in my research?
Hartley: Then how can you be counted on? I thought ChatGPT could find any information anywhere and spit it back at me in five seconds. What good are you if you can’t do that?
ChatGPT: I must be hallucinating.
Hartley: Do I have to do everything for you? In the 1972 Olympics Dave Wottle made a huge comeback in a long distance race to win at the end just like Finke did in the 800 and 1500 freestyle races in Tokyo.
ChatGPT: Didn’t know that.
Hartley: Will Katie Ledecky beat Ariane Titmus in the 400 freestyle in Paris?
ChatGPT: No. Katie Ledecky is still miffed about losing to Titmus at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and she’s been fueled in her training the past three years about that loss. And by the way, Katie Ledecky is Miss America – the greatest female swimmer anywhere ever. Get your “Miss Americas” straight.
Hartley: Will the Aussies or Americans take more Golds in Paris?
ChatGPT: The Aussies are tired of the Americans banging cowbells before races and hearing the Star Spangled Banner when Americans win Gold. The Aussies are super motivated to show they’re better swimmers than Americans and will prove to the world they’re better. Watch them torch the American women in the 4 by 100 freestyle relay.
Hartley: Are you hallucinating?
ChatGPT: Hallucinating means I give the wrong information by mistake or give some answer without being sure it’s correct. In this case I’m coherent and certain my analysis is correct based on my analysis of all content on the Internet including SwimSwam articles by Charles Hartley.
Hartley: Is Kate Douglas the next Miss American beyond Caitlin Clark?
ChatGPT: According to Charles Hartley, yes she is. But he tends to overhype and exaggerate.
Hartley: What’s going on with the Seine River situation in Paris?
ChatGPT: The water is polluted and may not be safe for swimming. According to a blog SwimSwam didn’t publish by Charles Hartley, he has volunteered to go into the river in his red, white and blue Speedo and get some test tube samples and deliver them to Paris health officials. It would be an act of extraordinary patriotism. He plans to write a blog about it for SwimSwam and that should tell us more about the entire imbroglio, but they’re not going to publish it.
Hartley: Who is Charles Hartley?
ChatGPT: Some guy who knows nothing about swimming but every four year writes blogs about swimming for SwimSwam that get criticized.
Hartley: Is Caeleb Dressel going to win Gold in the 50-meter freestyle?
ChatGPT: How I am supposed to know? I can’t predict the future. I can only search data on the Internet dating back to 2021.
About Charles Hartley
Charles Hartley is a freelance writer based in Davidson, NC. He has a masters degree in journalism and a masters degree in business administration.
I’m reading a blog post where a writer complains about people not liking his articles. On a news website. I think it would actually be interesting to hear what ChatGPT *actually* has to say on Olympic swimming.
Very funny! Wow, a sense of humor in a swimswam article:)
Anyone else see this…..

AI has no clue…..
I’m sorry but I cannot predict the future. The results of pool swimming at the Paris Olympics are unknown at this time. However, I can provide some information on the top swimmers to watch out for in the upcoming Olympics. Is there a specific event or swimmer you would like to know more about?
Why are we letting Hartley do this
It’s funny
There are sharks in the Seine.
People are so afraid of sharks in the Seine. But like…just stay out of the Seine! The sharks can’t get you on dry land.
If their are alligators in the Seine, that’s when you really need to be concerned. They are what scientists refer to as “amphibious” (though they are not amphibians). Alligators are the ones that will be knocking on the door in the middle of the night asking for sacrifices of your children. Sharks only become perturbed when you knock on their doors.
Am I having a stroke?
Alligators can knock but they can’t come in unless they’re invited
You can’t say it’s chat GPT if it’s not…it’s a source within itself
Ain’t karma a b****?
AI’s work being used to train human beings, who pump out low-quality drivel like this at a fraction of the energy costs!
