Explain how Tai Chi works like you are mad at me

Tai Chi is a martial art that utilizes slow and relaxed movements to cultivate energy known as “chi”. These movements are meant to help practitioners become aware of their body and its current state of balance. This awareness can help practitioners reduce stress and build strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. Practicing Tai Chi also helps improve circulation and can even boost the immune system. In essence, Tai Chi is a method of self-care and self-healing that can help you become more mindful and connected to your body. So, even though I may be mad at you, using Tai Chi can help me become aware of my body and its current state of balance, which can help me reduce stress and find a sense of relaxation.

Explain how Tai Chi works as if you were shakespeare

Through the movements, one can find peace, focus, and clarity. Through the practice of Tai Chi, one can unlock the potential of their body's inner energy, or "chi".

No, MMA is a more comprehensive and modern form of martial arts. Tai Chi is a more traditional martial art focused on health and relaxation. Each style has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to find the one that best suits your needs.

What is the best technique in martial arts?

There is no single best technique in martial arts, as different techniques work better for different people. It is important to research different styles and find the one that best suits your needs and goals.

I mean it's just as useful as most of what else is written on the subject and posted online.

I would bemoan the lack of meaningful content here but, really, where is the more meaningful content?

It makes more sense than anything Windwalker has ever written, that's all I'm saying ;D ;D ;D

It does art too:

Me: write a poem about tai chi

ChatGPT: Here is a poem about tai chi:

Tai chi, a dance of grace and flow,
A moving meditation, a way to grow.
Through slow, graceful movements and deep breaths,
We find balance and peace, a state of rest.

In tai chi, we tune in to our bodies and minds,
We focus on the present, and leave the world behind.
We let go of stress, and find our inner calm,
As we flow through the forms, like a gentle balm.

Tai chi is more than just a physical art,
It helps us connect with our hearts.
It teaches us to listen and be at ease,
To find balance and harmony, to find peace.

So if you're feeling lost or out of balance,
Try tai chi, and you'll find a new chance.
To connect with your body and your mind,
And leave the stresses of the world behind.

See, words, but no art. No sensibility, just words. About as good as your average milquetoast housewife rediscovering her creative side and inventorying her emotions with line breaks.

It's just the next step on the transformation to a 100% consumer culture. We will have reached the age where human creativity will be irrelevant.

Why don't we just let them do the kung fu, too? Be much easier to just read the stories they tell us and watch the shows they cobbled together from everything that has come before.

i mean, so machine intelligence has already achieved average human intelligence? it's exceeded us in chess and other areas. if your complaint is simply "it's not good yet" ... the implications are still a bit scary.

I'm legitimately... well "concerned" isn't the right word.... "resigned" to the stupidity of our trajectory.

Like we know that in the United States, news is generally written at a 4th grade reading level. Most adults lack advanced reading skills and the ability to infer meaning from text. We are literally mostly of sub-standard intelligence.

Which, okay, fine, I'm okay with that, just so long as they don't make breaking from the predigested regurgitated content illegal. outlawing individual expression because it can't be properly regulated or monetized.
