AI Explains the Cuban Missile Crisis, in Biblical Style

In the book AI Snake Oil, the authors mention that one of the AI systems was asked how one could remove a grilled cheese sandwich from a VCR player...and to explain it in the style of the King James Bible. The system did a pretty credible job.

This month marking the 62nd anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis...see my post The Cuban Missile Crisis, as Viewed From a Soviet Launch Facility--I thought it might be fun to ask Perplexity to tell the story of the crisis in biblical style. Here's what it came back with:

And it came to pass in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-two, in the tenth month, that a great tribulation befell the nations of the earth[1].

For lo, the kingdom of the Soviets had secretly placed weapons of terrible destruction upon the isle of Cuba, which lieth nigh unto the shores of America[1][4].

And when it was discovered by the spies of America, President Kennedy, son of Joseph, was sore afraid[4]. He gathered unto him his wise men and counselors, that they might devise a plan to save their people from destruction[2].

And Kennedy spake unto his people, saying, "Behold, our enemies have brought their swords to our very gates. We shall not suffer this transgression, but shall make a wall of ships round about Cuba, that no more weapons may pass"[2][4].

Then did the leaders of America and the Soviets exchange many messages, each man seeking to prevail over the other[2]. And the world trembled, for the shadow of death was upon all the earth[1].

But lo, on the twenty-eighth day of the month, Khrushchev, leader of the Soviets, sent word unto Kennedy, saying, "We shall remove our weapons from Cuba, if thou wilt promise not to invade this land"[1][2].

And there was great rejoicing throughout the lands, for the threat of war had passed[4]. Yet the people knew not that Kennedy had also agreed in secret to remove his own weapons from the land of Turkey[2].

Thus ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, and though peace was restored, the nations continued to watch one another with wary eyes[4]. For the hearts of men are ever filled with suspicion and the desire for power.
