Using CHAT GPT to translate an article to Midwestern dialect.

Recently, I took a class with Steve Little on using Artificial Intelligence in genealogical writing.  Below you will find an article I wrote awhile back about living in a soddy on the prairie. I asked ChatGPT to translate it into a Midwestern dialect and here it is.

​LIVIN' OUT ON THE PRAIRIE 
Well now, let me tell ya 'bout prairie life, where the summers sizzle and the winters bite. Out here, it's you, the land, and a whole mess of critters - from pesky bugs to slitherin' snakes. When our forebears trekked out to the Great Plains, they found themselves a whole new challenge. No forests for log cabins here, just miles of tough buffalo grass.
That grass, with roots thick as a preacher's bible, was what we had to work with. Early days, folks would carve out a home right in the hillside, a dugout, you might call it. Then, as time went on, they'd expand, using sod cut from the earth to build up walls for a proper house.
Now, building a sod house, that was no Sunday picnic. First, we had to cut the sod - big, heavy strips of earth and grass. The old grasshopper plow, once it came along, sure made a difference. We'd lay those sod strips, grass side down, making walls thicker than a winter stew. Had to leave a gap for a door and windows, of course. And the roof? Well, that was a mix of wood, maybe some tar paper, and a lighter layer of sod. Come spring, you might just see flowers sprouting up there!
Inside, it was simple but practical. Some folks hung cheesecloth from the ceiling to catch the bugs and bits falling into their supper. Cozy in the summer, snug in the winter, those sod houses were. But let me tell you, a heavy rain could test your patience. And heating? We burned what we had, mostly buffalo or cow chips. Takes a bit to get used to that aroma, I'll tell ya.
Water was as precious as gold out here. Some were lucky, settling by a spring or stream. Others had to dig wells, and that was no sure bet. Winters could be lonely, with your nearest neighbor miles away.
You might wonder, why'd anyone choose this life? It was tough, no doubt. But those sodbusters, they were determined. They turned the Great Plains into a place folks could live and work, helping to stretch our nation into what it is today.
