Artificial Intelligence - Metamorphosis: Changing an article to a New England Point of View

I took the same article and had ChatGPT rewrite it from a New Englander's point of view: What do you think?
LIVING ON THE PRAIRIE: A New Englander's Perspective 
From the cozy, history-steeped towns of New England, the prairie life of the American West seems as distant as the moon. Imagine swapping our lush, tree-lined landscapes for a horizon that stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see. Out there, the elements aren't just a mild inconvenience but a daily battle, with scorching summers and bone-chilling winters.
In the days of westward expansion, those hardy souls who ventured onto the Great Plains faced a stark reality: no forests meant no wood for building. Instead, they found buffalo grass, as integral to the prairie as our maple and pine are to New England. This tough, root-matted grass became the settlers' unlikely building material.
Early prairie dwellers often started with a dugout home, carved right into a hillside. Imagine that – living in a hole in the ground! They'd then expand it with sod, creating what they probably called 'cozy' but was likely anything but. Over time, these sod houses, or 'soddies,' evolved into more sophisticated structures. The settlers used a grasshopper plow, a far cry from our familiar horse-drawn plows, to cut the sod into strips for building.
These sod homes, with walls a yard thick, were surprisingly effective. Cool in summer, warm in winter, but let's not romanticize – they were no New England cottage. Heavy rains were a menace, and the roofs, sometimes sprouting flowers, were a quaint touch but hardly a substitute for our sturdy shingles.
Life on the prairie was a far cry from our New England villages. Wood was scarce, so they burned buffalo or cow chips for heat – imagine getting used to that smell! Water was a luxury, not taken for granted like our plentiful streams and wells. And the isolation – miles from the nearest neighbor – makes our quaint, sometimes insular towns seem bustling in comparison.
We might shake our heads, wondering why anyone would choose such a life. But it's thanks to these 'sodbusters' that the Great Plains were settled, playing a crucial role in the expansion of our nation. It's a stark reminder of the diverse challenges and lifestyles that have shaped America, as different from our New England way of life as the prairie is from the forest.
