So I've been experimenting with the new ChatGBT program, mainly to determine whether my job as an English teacher is in danger of becoming obsolete (it's not). While I was at it, I decided to see if it could write a functional contra dance. This is what I entered, and what it produced.

Write a 32-bar contra dance that starts improper, includes a partner swing, a neighbor swing, and a full hey:

(8 bars) Start improper with your partner, swing left and right, Come back to place with a do-si-do in sight

(8 bars) Swing your neighbor with a smile on your face, Then circle left, it's a wondrous embrace

(8 bars) Swing your partner with a twirl and a spin, Then switch places, and let the fun begin

(8 bars) Full hey now, join hands and take a bow, The contra dance is just getting started now!

End the contra dance with a grand finale, Swinging and smiling, what a perfect finale!

I don't think callers' and dance choreographers' jobs are in much danger either!
