Trevor Noah explaining CPF - generated response by ChatGPT.
Who is Trevor Noah?
He is a South African comedian and television host; best known as the host of "The Daily Show," a satirical news program that offers a humorous take on current events.
And sure we would like for the real Noah to explain it to us, but the ChatGPT version would do just fine.
In fact, after reading what ChatGPT generated, we must say, we are quite impressed because we can completely visualise Noah describing CPF in almost the same way ChatGPT responded.
It was so convincing that we asked for 2 different versions of how Noah would describe it.
Below are the responses generated by ChatGPT:

Version 1:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say, the Central Provident Fund in Singapore, it's a unique beast.
It's a savings plan for the future, and it's mandatory.
And you know me, I love anything that's mandatory, because it means I have no choice but to participate.
But the CPF, it's not just your average savings account.
No, no, no.
It's a multi-faceted, government-administered plan that combines aspects of retirement savings, healthcare funding, and even housing.
It's a one-stop shop for all your financial planning needs.
Now, some might see this as a good thing, having the government handle your savings and retirement planning.
But on the other hand, some folks might feel like they're losing control of their own money.
And you can understand why right?
I mean, it's hard enough to trust banks with our hard-earned cash, let alone the government.
But here's the thing, despite its complexities and limitations, the CPF has been around for over 60 years, and it's helped millions of Singaporeans save for the future.
And you know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So, the CPF, it's a unique, mandatory, government-administered savings plan, and whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit, it's a pretty fascinating system.
And who knows, maybe one day it will become the norm all around the world.
But until then, we'll just have to keep a close eye on it and make sure it's working for the people.

Version 2
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about something that's a little bit like a piggy bank on steroids.
It's called the CPF, and it's a mandatory savings plan that every working person in Singapore has to participate in.
So, imagine you've got a job and every month, a portion of your salary goes into this fund, and you can use it for things like housing, healthcare, and education.
It's like a personal retirement account, but the catch is, you can't just access it anytime you want.
Now, I know what you're thinking - why would anyone agree to that?
But, it turns out that the CPF system has been successful in ensuring that people in Singapore have a comfortable standard of living after they retire.
But, of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
The restrictions on accessing the funds have faced criticism, and there have been debates about the government's management of the funds.
But overall, the CPF is a unique system that's had a significant impact on the lives of Singaporeans.
It's kind of like the firefighting robot from the movie Wall-E that saves the day, except instead of saving the world, it saves your financial future.
So, there you have it, the CPF in a nutshell.
It's a little complicated, but it's worth understanding if you want to be a part of the financial future of this island nation.
