The post featuring the chatbot's response has gone viral and has amassed reactions from several users. 

In a Twitter thread, Dan Miller shared ChatGPT's reaction. The 28-line poem is fairly impressive owing to its use of intricate language, vivid imagery and catchy rhythm.

"I asked ChatGPT4 to explain Climate Change in the voice of Shakespeare. The result is quite extraordinary," he said in the tweet. Responding to the same, the bot said: "Prithee, attend, thou gentle souls and wise, To hear a tale of warming in our skies, A change that doth the very earth beset, And causeth all in sundry ways to fret."
