NOTE: A lighthearted post for Valentines Day

I asked an Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT) to write short valentines for every country.

I told it to ignore beauty, because otherwise it was going to write everything about that.

National attributes, as seen through AI Valentines

Here’s my question to the AI, asking for a Valentine for an American:

I also asked the AI more directly what the “stereotype” about “dating” is like in different countries.

Hope you found this either interesting, or amusing!
