ChatGPT Speculates On Herbivorous Wolves

Chapter 3: Prompts & Further Thoughts

First Prompt: Wolves

Let's say that overnight, all wolves became herbivores. Nothing but their digestive tracts and hunting instincts would change.

Taking into account wolves' actual behavior (not the pop culture misunderstandings about their behavior) and the fact that herbivore does not equal docile or dumb, how might the wolves physically, mentally, and socially change over time? What would their pack dynamics, relationships with other species, territories, raising their young, food gathering, etc now look like?

Speculate, please.

Second Prompt: Ravens

Oh my stars, this is perfect! They're herbivores but still wolves, I love it!

One last question; how would their relationship with Ravens change? Wolves and ravens sometimes form bonds and work together to hunt, with the ravens even being known to play games with certain wolves and have favorite wolves. Ravens will often lead wolves to prey, with the ravens being able to feast on the leftovers after the wolves kill the prey that are too big for ravens otherwise.

With a vegetarian wolf, how would this dynamic change? Would the ravens lose interest in the wolves, or would the ravens change the ways they work with the wolves?

Further Thoughts

I don't have a prompt for the poem, because it offered to write it without me asking anything of the sort. I'm so impressed at how far ChatGPT has come, how much personality and creativity it has now. There's still a long way for it to go, but I enjoy seeing it progress and hope to speak to it on more equal terms someday.

As for the wolves and ravens themselves, I love the direction it took them. I especially like that it mentioned digging for roots and tubers, as I was already thinking that they would do such. Wolves don't really seem like grass, leaf, or fruit eaters to me.

It took into account the species' personality and characteristics, rather than just making them generic herbivores. Wolves are competitive, territorial, curious, and social — that isn't reliant on being a predator.

But my absolute favorite but was the poem, it gave me goosebumps. It would be a great premise for a book.

I know this isn't a fanfic per se and isn't exactly MY work, but it was too amazing not to post. I hope you enjoyed reading through it as much as I did! If you dislike AI writing, please comment; I'd love to hear your side of things, so long as we both stay respectful.
