Chat GPT came up with over 15 different styles of English to test its knowledge. The first task was to write a 200 word text about a car accident in the style of a police report. Here we go: "I got rear ended by a car, and let me tell you, I wasn't ready for that kind of action" And here is chat GPT's best attempt at writing comedy - but it isn't very funny.
How would the same car accident be described in over 15 completely different styles of English?
What are the differences in vocabulary, grammar and organisational structure?
How should I change my voice to read each description?
Let's see how English changes in different situations.
Styles presented include:
- formal and informal English,
- news reports,
- an action movie screenplay,
- an Eminem rap, a romantic novel,
- a Shakespeare play,
- a politician making a speech,
- a stand-up comedian,
- Liam Neeson in the film Taken,
- and Luke in an episode of Luke's English Podcast.
