While pretending to be Santa Claus, Openai was able to explain to a child that Santa isn't real.

The generated text that Cynthia Savard posted made her somewhat emotional.

As it pretended to be Santa, the bot wrote "I am not a real person, but a character that your parents have told you stories about out of love."

The latest offering from Openai is incredibly sophisticated, as artificial intelligence enthusiasts have noted.

"We're witnessing the death of the college essay in real time," one user said, posting a picture of a response to a prompt.

The essay that the bot spat out was a "solid A" work, they said.

As Savard's Santa-debunking letter continues, it's impressive how well the bot is able to concisely explicate a concept that many adult humans have difficulty expressing to their children.

Stories about me and my elves have been told to you by your parents. They wanted you to believe in the spirit of giving during the holidays. I want you to know that your parents care for you very much. They want to make your childhood special because they love you.

It's clear that we're entering a brave new world of text generation, and hopefully it will be used more for positive reasons than for academic writing.

The new artificial intelligence shows what you would look like in different eras.
