I’ve got to know the source of this.
Guessing somebody just wrote it to be funny, because there are grammatical errors with the dated bits of language like “mine hand” (should just be “my hand”).
If a human writer was behind this using a medieval flair, I would have used “thine” or “thy”.
The “mine” is too close to the German “mein”. Unless the writer was doing a German renaissance thing.
Well “mine” is correct in English in e.g. “mine eyes” because “eyes” starts with a vowel sound. I don’t see any opportunity to use second-person pronouns like thine and thy in this passage; where would you have put those?
I stand corrected then. Grammar is not my strong suit.
Probably Lemmy
That’s not super helpful, but it is funny.
That was precisely my intention
Bullseye

This is the kind of thing that AI is actually pretty great at.
The other cool way to find this is to search for the text …
And I withdrew into my bedchamber, and lay down, for it was night. But the cat, seeing that I had lain down in my bedchamber, forgot all the kindness of his master and cried out: “Arise and feed me, for I am hungry and thirsty!” And he thrust his paws into mine eye, and drew his voice nigh unto mine ear. And wrath was kindled in my heart. I stretched forth mine hand and took up my slipper, that I might smite the cat. And the cat saw that I had opened mine eyes, and rejoiced, and began to fawn upon me and sing praises unto my glory. And I took pity on the cat in my heart, for he hath no understanding in his head. And I rose up from my couch, and went into the kitchen, and poured more food into his bowl, a double measure.
Fyi there were no results.
And this post was the matching image result.
ChatGPT:
The passage you’ve provided appears to be a modern, humorous piece written in a biblical or archaic style, likely intended as a parody or creative expression. It doesn’t match any widely recognized literary works or classic texts. The style is reminiscent of satirical writings that mimic the language of religious scriptures to describe everyday situations—in this case, the relatable experience of a cat demanding food at night.
While the exact source isn’t identified in the available information, it’s possible that this piece originated from an online forum, blog, or social media post where users share creative writings. If you have any additional context or information about where you encountered this passage, I might be able to assist further in pinpointing its origin.
I would additionally assume ChatGPT would not have access to other LLM databases (for searching). Especially smaller and beta LLM’s. For example if someone out there is creating\testing a MedievalGPT app, and posting online its own outputs.
That’s good to know. Thanks for pointing it out. In this situation, do I need to use multiple AIs or is there some other solution?
Current A.I. is all over the place. It’s hard which ones to recommend as they evolve and names change. Google(Gemini\Bard) and Microsoft (Copilot) are quite large – server farm-wise. OpenAI is made in many apps. DeepSeek is in the news lately. There was once a philosophy bot I liked that actually remembered my answer\correction a year and a half later. Do any of these share search results with each other? No clue.
Modern solution… treat it like a search engine… best to use more than one, just make sure.
NARRATOR: The master’s dog will heed quietly and fast through the night. Battlements of contrarian violence and 2nd dinners are not its game. Cry ‘Havoc’ and let slip the dogs of war – said once Shakespeare. But true, that is not proof mandkind’s best friend and men are allies in the end. But ask Shakespeare, or anyone in history, how many cat gut strings strummed the crossbows and trebuchets through the annuls of time. The answer was never ‘zero’.
