Who understands the Lord of the Rings better? Amazon’s Rings of Power, or the new artificial intelligence called ChatGPT. I asked the AI three questions about Lord of the Rings, and its answers left me speechless. Today, I will explore three questions, giving you the responses from an artificial intelligence, and comparing them with how I assume Rings of Power answered the same questions.Support the show with a wafer of lembas: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lotrpodcastPurchase my recommended LOTR

2022/12/08

If you’ve seen or read Tolkien’s The Hobbit, then you know that Gandalf convinced Thorin and the dwarves to take Bilbo Baggins, a simple hobbit from the Shire. But you may not know why Gandalf chose Bilbo in the first place, or how Gandalf and Thorin met, or how Gandalf received the map and key that he could pass along to Thorin, and still yet how unlikely the whole story is and how the tale is tangled up in the larger fight against Sauron.

Middle-earth’s greatest power couple: Aragorn and Arwen. If we stripped away all the battles, all the struggles, all the rings, dwarves, dragons, dark lords, wizards, Nazgul, hobbits, if we stripped all of that away, and we were left with only the tale of Aragorn and Arwen, I argue that we would be left with one of the most compelling and powerful stories of love, adventure, duty, and choices made in hope, despite an oppressive darkness Support the show with a wafer of
