The Olympic 100m Freestyle Final by ChatGPT

Scene: The Olympic Swimming Arena. The 100m freestyle final is about to begin, and the crowd is in for a treat. The competitors today? A Dalek, Donald Trump, and George Costanza. Three incredibly different figures, but each with a unique approach to the race.

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 100m freestyle final! We have some truly unusual competitors today. On the starting blocks, we have the Dalek, known for its logical extermination tactics; Donald Trump, who insists he's the best at everything; and George Costanza, who... well, we’re not quite sure what his strategy is, but he’s here!


Cut to: The Dalek, who has positioned itself in the water. It’s already emitting strange beeping sounds, struggling to figure out how to swim.

DALEK
(yelling with mechanical enthusiasm)
EXTERMINATE THE WATER! EXTERMINATE THE COMPETITION!


Cut to: Donald Trump, adjusting his swim trunks and trying to maintain his usual level of self-confidence. He looks to the crowd and gives a thumbs-up.

TRUMP
(loudly)
This is going to be the greatest race of all time. Nobody swims like me, folks. Believe me. I’ve got the best strokes. Everyone’s talking about it. It’s going to be huge. I’m winning this. No one even comes close.


Cut to: George Costanza, standing awkwardly at the starting block, looking more nervous than confident. He’s adjusting his goggles for the third time, his arms trembling slightly. He looks to his left and right at the Dalek and Trump, clearly overwhelmed.

GEORGE
(mumbling to himself)
Why am I even here? I can’t swim. This is going to be a disaster... I’ll just try not to embarrass myself too much. Why did I think I could do this?


START SIGNAL:
BEEP!


The Dalek, as usual, is the first to act. It launches itself into the water with a dramatic THUD, sending waves splashing in all directions. The Dalek is thrashing wildly, its plunger flicking in every direction.

DALEK
(frantically)
EXTERMINATE THE WATER!


Meanwhile, Trump jumps into the water with an impressive, if not entirely graceful, cannonball, throwing up a huge splash. He immediately starts paddling, but with his signature overconfidence, he’s flailing more than swimming.

TRUMP
(yelling to the crowd)
I’m winning this! Look at that form, folks! Pure energy! No one can swim like me, it’s tremendous!


George Costanza hesitates for a second, then gingerly enters the water. His strokes are awkward, more like frantic dog paddling than anything resembling a race. He keeps looking over at the Dalek and Trump, trying to make sense of their frantic movements.

GEORGE
(gritting his teeth)
Okay, I’m doing this. I’m doing this. Just don’t drown, George. Don’t drown. Just keep moving forward. This is fine. This is totally fine.


ANNOUNCER:
And we’re off! The Dalek has already gone full-on chaotic, thrashing around the pool like it’s in a warzone, while Trump is trying to convince everyone he’s winning despite the lack of actual swimming technique. And... oh dear, George Costanza seems to be... well, flailing a bit. Not sure how this is going to turn out, folks!


The Dalek, as expected, is struggling. It’s somehow caught in its own plunger, which is now flapping uselessly in the water. Meanwhile, Trump’s swim looks more like a wrestling match with the pool, arms flailing and head bobbing above the water.

TRUMP
(panting and yelling)
I told you, I’m the best! You can’t beat me! This is amazing! Everyone’s watching me win!


Meanwhile, George is surprisingly gaining ground. Though his technique is questionable at best, his sheer desperation is driving him forward. His panic-fueled strokes are moving him faster than he expected. He looks over at the Dalek, which has somehow gotten itself stuck in a corner, and at Trump, who’s still making a scene but not really going anywhere.

GEORGE
(in disbelief)
Wait, am I... am I ahead of them? How is this happening? What is this?!


The race is nearing the final stretch. The Dalek is still struggling, getting more and more tangled in the water. Trump, somehow still convinced he’s winning, lets out another triumphant yell.

TRUMP
(yelling over to the crowd)
This is how you swim, folks! It’s beautiful!

Meanwhile, George is still doggedly pushing forward, his arms flailing, but with a renewed sense of purpose. He’s almost at the finish line... just a few more strokes!

GEORGE
(gritting his teeth)
I can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’m going to win this. No, wait, don’t think about winning, just... just finish!


The Dalek, now fully malfunctioning in the pool, begins to float sideways, unable to move properly. Trump is splashing around, convinced he’s ahead, but in reality, he’s more focused on giving the crowd a show than actually racing.


And then, with a final, wild stroke...

GEORGE
(exclaiming with a mixture of exhaustion and disbelief)
I DID IT! I WON!


ANNOUNCER:
And there you have it, folks! In a shocking turn of events, George Costanza has won the race! Against the Dalek, who is still stuck in the corner, and Trump, who... well, let’s just say he’s too busy waving at the crowd to notice! What a race, folks! What an upset!


Cut to: The Dalek, still floating aimlessly, beeping in frustration, and Trump, still convinced that he’s a winner, despite the results. George Costanza, exhausted but triumphant, looks over at the chaos, a small, victorious smile creeping onto his face.

GEORGE
(mutters to himself, still incredulous)
I... I can’t believe I won. This is incredible. I should have known... this is my moment...


THE END.
