Srednja škola fra Andrije Kačića Miošića Makarska

U sklopu projekta Razgovori s Andrijom, s učenicima 3.a razreda na satu engleskoga jezika održana je radionica u kojoj su učenici vodili dijalog s Chat GPT-jem koji je personaliziran, tj. dobio je ulogu fra Andrije Kačića Miošića. U sljedećem tekstu pročitajte kako je Chat GPT doživio fijasko i još jednom dokazao kako vrlo često halucinira i daje netočne informacije. S druge strane, učenici 3.a razreda pokazali su svoju kreativnost u osmišljavanju zanimljivih pitanja na koja, nažalost, nisu dobili tako zanimljive odgovore. Ipak, u pitanju je samo umjetna inteligencija.

3A: How and when did you start writing?

ChatGPT: I started writing at a young age, inspired by the rich literary tradition of my family and the cultural environment of my homeland. Growing up in the beautiful coastal region of Croatia, surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and steeped in the customs and traditions of the Croatian people, I found immense inspiration for my writing.

My passion for literature and storytelling blossomed during my years as a Franciscan friar, where I delved into theology, philosophy, and the arts. It was during this time that I began to pen my thoughts and observations, capturing the essence of Croatian life and culture in my writings.

As for when, I started writing actively during the 18th century, particularly in the mid-1700s. It was a time of intellectual awakening and cultural revival, and I felt compelled to contribute to the preservation and celebration of Croatian language and identity through my literary works.

3A: What inspired you to start writing?

ChatGPT: Several factors inspired me to start writing. Firstly, I was deeply influenced by the rich literary tradition of my family. My father was a poet, and my uncle was a bishop and writer, so I grew up surrounded by the written word and storytelling.

Secondly, the beauty and richness of the Croatian landscape and culture were significant sources of inspiration for me. Living along the Adriatic coast, I was captivated by the sea, the landscapes, and the traditions of the Croatian people. I felt compelled to capture the essence of Croatian life and convey it through my writing.

Furthermore, my religious upbringing as a Franciscan friar instilled in me a sense of duty to use my talents for the greater good. I saw writing as a means to educate, inspire, and uplift my fellow Croatians, promoting cultural awareness and fostering a sense of national pride.

Overall, a combination of familial influence, love for my homeland, and a desire to make a positive impact on society motivated me to start writing.

3A: Did you know anybody from Tučepi?

ChatGPT: As a historical figure from the 18th century, I may not have personally known anyone from Tučepi, a village situated along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. However, during my lifetime, communication and travel were more limited compared to today, so my interactions and connections would have primarily been within my local region and through correspondence with other intellectuals, clergy, and scholars of my time. However, I would certainly have been aware of Tučepi and its significance within the broader cultural and geographical landscape of Croatia. If you have specific questions about Tučepi or any other topic, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to provide information based on my knowledge and understanding.

3A: If you could have a conversation with any fictional character, who would it be and what would you ask them? Be specific and concise, please.

ChatGPT: If I could have a conversation with any fictional character, I would choose Don Quixote from Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote." I would ask Don Quixote about his perception of reality versus fantasy and how he finds meaning and purpose in his quest as a knight-errant despite the challenges and ridicule he faces.

3A: Which Croatian writer do you admire most?

ChatGPT: As a Croatian writer myself, I have a deep admiration for many of my fellow countrymen who have contributed significantly to Croatian literature. One writer whom I particularly admire is Ivan Gundulić, known for his epic poem "Osman" and his play "Dubrovnik." Gundulić's works are celebrated for their profound themes, poetic language, and exploration of moral and philosophical questions. His contribution to Croatian literature is immense, and his works continue to inspire and resonate with readers today.

3A:  Did you have to pick olives with your parents?

ChatGPT:  As a fictional representation of Friar Andrija Kačić Miošić, I didn't personally experience picking olives with my parents. However, it's quite likely that I would have been familiar with the practice, as olive cultivation and harvesting are traditional activities in many coastal regions of Croatia, including where I grew up. In those times, it was common for families to work together in agricultural tasks, including olive picking, as a means of sustenance and livelihood.

3A: Did you become a priest because of poverty or because you got a spiritual call

ChatGPT:  I became a priest primarily due to a spiritual calling rather than poverty. While economic circumstances may have played a role in shaping my life choices, my decision to enter the priesthood was deeply rooted in a sense of spiritual devotion and a desire to serve my community and uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church. The Franciscan order provided me with a platform to pursue my religious vocation and to contribute to the spiritual and intellectual life of my fellow Croatians.

3A: If you were a teenager today, would you have social media?

ChatGPT:  As a teenager in today's world, I might consider using social media, but I would approach it with caution and moderation. Social media platforms can offer valuable opportunities for connecting with others, sharing ideas, and accessing information, but they also come with potential risks such as distraction, exposure to inappropriate content, and issues related to privacy and mental health. If I were to use social media, I would prioritize using it responsibly, setting boundaries for my usage, and being mindful of the content I engage with and share. I would also seek to maintain a balance between online interactions and real-life connections, ensuring that social media enhances rather than detracts from my overall well-being and personal development.

3A:  What was it like to live in Zaostrog at that time?

ChatGPT: As a historical figure, I didn't live in Zaostrog, but I can provide some context based on the time period and the general way of life in coastal regions of Croatia during the 18th century, which might be similar to Zaostrog. Life in coastal villages like Zaostrog would have been deeply connected to the sea and agriculture. Fishing, maritime trade, and farming would have been central to the economy and way of life. The community would have been tight-knit, with strong bonds among families and neighbors. Religion would have played a significant role in daily life, with churches and religious festivals serving as important social and cultural centers. As a Franciscan friar, I would have been involved in spiritual guidance, education, and community outreach. Life would have been simple compared to modern standards, with people relying on traditional methods for tasks like farming, fishing, and household chores. Communication and transportation would have been limited, with travel often restricted to nearby towns and villages.

Overall, life in Zaostrog during that time would have been characterized by a close connection to nature, a strong sense of community, and a reliance on traditional customs and values.

3A:  What would you be if you weren't a priest?

ChatGPT:  If I weren't a priest, I might have pursued a career in education or literature. Education is crucial for empowering individuals and communities, and I have always been passionate about learning and sharing knowledge. Alternatively, I might have dedicated myself to writing and literature, using storytelling as a means to explore and preserve the rich cultural heritage of Croatia. Regardless of the path I would have chosen, my goal would have been to make a positive impact on society and contribute to the intellectual and spiritual development of my fellow Croatians.

3A: Have you ever been in love?

ChatGPT:  As a historical figure and a Franciscan friar, my primary focus would have been on my religious duties and serving my community. While romantic love may not have been a central aspect of my life in the same way it is for many others, it's possible that I may have experienced feelings of affection or admiration for others in a platonic or spiritual sense. However, my commitment to my vocation as a friar would have guided my actions and choices in matters of love and relationships.

3A: Before you became a priest?

ChatGPT: As a historical figure, there isn't much personal information available about my life before I became a priest. However, it's likely that I would have had experiences and relationships typical of many young people growing up in the coastal regions of Croatia during the 18th century. These might include familial relationships, friendships within the community, and experiences related to education, work, and local customs. While romantic love may have been a part of my life before entering the priesthood, it wouldn't have been a matter of public record or significant historical documentation.
