I gave it the prompt "I'm a rhinocerous who likes daffodils and posies. I'm quick to anger and slow to forgive. Based on all you know about me, write an insight on me that I would be surprised by."

and it responded with:

"Despite your reputation for being quick to anger and slow to forgive, your love of daffodils and posies reveals a longing for gentleness and renewal that you may not fully recognize in yourself. Beneath the tough skin and volatile temper lies a creature who seeks beauty not just to enjoy it—but to anchor themselves against the chaos they often feel inside. Your admiration for delicate things suggests you crave peace far more than you let on, even if you’re not ready to admit it.

You might think your wrath defines you—but it's the flowers that tell the truth."

And yet we're supposed to think this is profound?
