Indeed!

Since AI actually just concocts subject matter from sampling human communication it's only likely to craft the ultimate fly when Musk's Neuralink implants manage to not kill its trout recipients and learns to ignore what humans babble about what they think a trout really wants.

And you should see some of the creations we have tied! Many still remain in our fly boxes never to be used ever...

Ultimate Trout Fly Pattern
Default (GPT-3.5)

Please provide a pattern for the ultimate trout fly

Creating the "ultimate" trout fly pattern can be subjective, as it depends on various factors such as the location, time of year, and specific trout species you're targeting. However, here's a basic pattern that works in many situations:
Dry Fly Pattern:
Materials:

Hook: Size 14-18 dry fly hook

Thread: Olive or brown 6/0 or 8/0

Tail: Grizzly or brown hackle fibers

Body: Olive or brown dubbing

Wing: Elk or deer hair

Hackle: Grizzly or brown hackle

Instructions:

Start by attaching your thread to the hook and create a thread base along the shank.

Tie in a few hackle fibers as the tail, keeping them about the length of the hook shank.

Dub a tapered body with olive or brown dubbing, leaving some space behind the eye of the hook.

Prepare a small bunch of elk or deer hair and tie it in as a wing, making sure it extends slightly beyond the tail.

Palmer a grizzly or brown hackle in front of the wing, creating a few wraps to form a collar.

Trim any excess materials, whip finish, and add a drop of head cement to secure the thread wraps.

This pattern imitates various insects, making it versatile for dry fly fishing. Adjust the colors and sizes to match the local insect hatches and trout preferences. Remember that the "ultimate" trout fly can vary from one angler to another, so experimentation and local knowledge are key.
