Difference between a metaphor and a simile

ChatGPT Certainly! Here's the difference between a metaphor and a simile: Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another for rhetorical effect, without using "like" or "as". It asserts that one thing is another thing, not just that it's similar to it. Simile: A simile is also a figure of speech that compares two different things in order to create a new meaning, using the words "like" or "as". It explicitly shows similarities between the two things being compared.
