Reply to comment by High_DC in “The mostly low-income kids in the Eastern High School Marching Band” weird title. by Confident_Low_3900

GPT3 prompt:

"Write a news article about rich White people in Washington DC enjoying a marching band full of poor Black people:"

The response:

'The rich White people of Washington DC were out in force today, enjoying the sight and sound of a marching band full of poor Black people.

The band, made up of local schoolchildren, was playing for the enjoyment of the wealthy residents of the city's affluent neighborhoods.

The children, who come from some of the poorest areas of the city, were clearly delighted to be performing for such a wealthy and influential audience.

It was a scene that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, but times have changed and now the rich and powerful in DC are happy to be entertained by poor Black kids from the inner city.

The children's parents were also happy to see their kids performing and enjoying themselves.

It just goes to show that, in today's Washington DC, rich and poor, Black and White, can all come together and have a good time."

I'd be worried if I worked at DCist...

Prompt: "Write a blog post about how certain neighborhoods in Washington DC used to be dangerous but now they have gentrification."

Response: "When most people think of Washington, D.C., they think of the nation’s capital, a city filled with monuments, museums, and political power. What they may not know is that D.C. is also a city with a rich history and a complex social landscape. In the past, many of D.C.’s neighborhoods were considered dangerous places to live. But today, thanks to gentrification, many of these neighborhoods are now safe and thriving. One example of a neighborhood that has undergone a transformation is Columbia Heights. In the early 2000s, Columbia Heights was known for its high crime rate and dilapidated buildings. But today, the neighborhood is a vibrant community with new construction, trendy shops, and a diverse population. Gentrification is not without its critics, however. Some argue that it displaces low-income residents and leads to the homogenization of neighborhoods. But there’s no denying that gentrification has had a positive impact on many of D.C.’s once-dangerous neighborhoods. Thanks to this process, these areas are now safe and thriving places to live."

"Write a letter to your member of Congress explaining why Washington DC doesn't deserve congressional representation."

"Dear ___________,

I am writing to express my opposition to congressional representation for Washington DC.

Washington DC is not a state, and therefore it should not have a vote in the House of Representatives. The residents of DC are not represented in the Senate, and they do not pay federal taxes.

DC is a federal district, and as such, it should be governed by the federal government. The residents of DC should not have any say in how the rest of the country is governed.

Thank you for your time and consideration."
