TYPO ALERT: Subheading "Santanic." I like your buffet of subjects. I wonder if I could use artificial intelligence to write The Great American Novel.

"Santanic" is when Santa turns evil. I think they made a movie about that.

Thanks for catching that. Now I don't know whether to fix it.

I am sure there are many people trying to get ChatGPT to write their novels for them. I say, godspeed to them. Can't be worse than a lot of the dreck out there.

I at first thought that you referred to something connected to Carlos Santana! I searched a term. Bing gave me something creative. I added two words to the query and got a different prosaic piece. Does Bing own the results? The capitalizations seem to indicate quotes from a poem. Are these Bing pieces random quotes from works that have been entered on the Internet? Once writings are entered on the Web, copyrights become void? What if I claim ownership of artificial intelligence pieces?
