That's quite arrogant.

Not everyone has ever written something like it.

Why is it unfair or unpersonal if chatgpt helps you, guides you and gives you a good starting point?

Guess how many people would Google some example and starting with that, what's so wrong to let chatgpt generate a shitty first draft already tailored to your situation?

Hello greeny7373, nice to meet you.

> Why is it unfair or unpersonal if chatgpt helps you, guides you and gives you a good starting point?

As somewhat extreme examples: Rodin didn't swoop in and smooth off "The Kiss" after an apprentice chiselled the basic outline out of a lump of marble; pretty sure Salvador Dali started with blank canvas instead of getting a basic landscape from a $2 Art Shop and added a melting clock and a giraffe to it.

We all have language.

Take your age, subtract maybe 5 years, and that's how much experience you have expressing yourself in your language.

Say you're 20; by that metric you have 15 years experience communicating. Now, I don't play guitar and I'm not remotely musical, but I'm pretty sure if I did it every day for 15 years I could at least bash out somthing original, if possibly influenced by things I liked.

I'm not suggesting that people entertain us for half an hour with heartfelt, witty speech about their relationship with the groom; I'm not suggesting ten minute poetic ode to a life well-lived that leaves everyone simultaneous trying not to cry and trying not to laugh, and nodding and saying "yes, that's how they were".

It doesn't need to be long: just one memory or incident. It doesn't need to be Shakespeare: just heartfelt. It doesn't need to win the Academy for Best Actor. It doesn't need to be a 5 paragraph essay (though if you did use that model, there's nothing wrong with it).

It just needs to be you; it just needs to be yours.

(I already know what I'll say at my Father's funeral when the time comes: it'll be about two sentences, just something he said to me once. But I know that's all I need to say).

Maybe I am arrogant, but I want human feeling and human expression at human events. I don't want to be snoring through regurgitated pap.

I started to see a huge issue with knowledge: people don't know what they don't know.

If you have a magic Maschine your solution is no longer 'no clue how to do this' but it becomes 'i will ask my trusty expert machine'.

This machine now gives you the next step, the guidance you need without being jugemental OR much simpler: just looks to busy to you that you are not confident to disturb the other.
