We are ready for the December vibes, and this Durban-themed poem reminded us that we live in our province's playground. Durban is remarkable, and experiencing our city brings a special spark.

Now, a Durban Content Creator has managed to capture the essence of Durban in a poem. Garfield asked ChatGPT for help writing a poem using South African slang but focused on Durban. 

He was pleasantly surprised by what ChatGPT came up with, so much so that he wanted to share it with everyone on social media. 

The poem spoke about everything from our township life to urban life, the popular street food in Durban and South Africa, and, of course, our amazing ocean. 

ChatGPT has been a controversial topic, with many people believing it can essentially make people's jobs obsolete. But as time has passed, people have become increasingly inclined to use AI for their benefit, and in this case, for their amusement. 

We recently saw how companies can use AI to record their meeting minutes, which saves time and is an efficient way of conducting meetings.
