I’ve been trying out the abilities of Chat GPT 3.5 (free) to help me draft some copy for an online course. It’s helpful in giving me a starting framework when my mind is tired and I’m having trouble getting out of a repetetive pattern of thought. It’s done a decent job and I can use the text it generated almost unedited this time, a first, for me.

So, as it’s the weekend, I thought I’d throw it a fun exercise just for a laugh. The computer(s) played along. If you have, or somebody you know has, an ambitious pet fish, here’s the draft of a letter to Santa that you could help it write:


[Your Pet Fish’s Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
[Date]

Dear Santa Claus,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits at the magical North Pole! My name is [Your Pet Fish’s Name], and though I may not be a child like the ones you usually hear from, I am just as eager to write to you with a special request this Christmas.

You see, Santa, I am not your typical fish. I am a Koi Carp, and I harbor big dreams and a thirst for adventure. While my fellow aquatic friends may content themselves with the serene waters of a pond, I have a grand ambition – I want to learn to ride a bicycle!

You might wonder, Santa, why a fish would desire such an unusual gift. Allow me to explain. With a bicycle, I believe I can explore the world in a whole new way. Picture this – gliding gracefully along the streets, feeling the cool breeze against my scales, and discovering the beauty of both land and water. A bicycle would enable me to venture beyond the confines of the pond and embark on exciting journeys, witnessing the wonders of the world from a unique perspective.

Moreover, riding a bicycle would promote physical activity and help me stay fit and healthy. As you know, swimming is excellent exercise for fish, but cycling would engage a different set of muscles and challenge me mentally as well. It would be an opportunity to learn balance and coordination, just like humans do!

I assure you, dear Santa, that this gift will not only fulfill my dreams but also inspire others to pursue their aspirations, no matter how unconventional they may seem. I want to show the world that even a fish can achieve the extraordinary.

So, Santa Claus, with a hopeful heart, I kindly request a beautiful, aquatic-friendly bicycle. I promise to be careful and responsible while riding, and I’ll take every precaution to ensure my safety.

Thank you, Santa, for considering my unique wish. Even though I’m not a human child, I believe in your magical spirit and the joy you bring to countless lives every Christmas. I eagerly await your visit on Christmas Eve and look forward to embarking on new adventures with my extraordinary gift.

Wishing you and your reindeer a fantastic Christmas!

With fins crossed and warmest wishes,

[Your Pet Fish’s Name]
