If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
‘According to ChatGPT which I prompt-engineered to interview me and pick the most suitable animal - Owl: Owls are introverted, solitary creatures that are known for their wisdom and intuition. They are also calm and observant, which matches your emotional tendencies. Owls can fly, which aligns with your dreams and interests.
It also told me I was an octopus in the last option, but I don’t want to be an octopus.’
