Background & comments

This was 100% written by the AI. Most of it appeared as an unrelated, random verse while trying to put together “specks as old as time”.

The straightforward structure appealed to me, so I gave it its own entry here. As usual, the text is a little bit non-sensical, but I continue to think there is a certain charm to that.

Background & comments

This is very short, but after many tries, the AI didn’t really produce anything interesting beyond what you see above.

I found the last sentence funny though. The AI is kind saying that humans are oblivious to the “cosmic conversations” happening around them, which is true. There are cosmic rays passing through us all the time, and we’ll never notice!

A single, unshakable
insurance tower of wealth

A tectonic shift

A world beyond

Conscious, unconscious &
matter

In order to hold
and to care
for the future

A time of
transformation

I am looking
forward to it

Background and comments

One thing I really like about the poem style is that the words do not necessarily have to make sense.

In this particular case though, the poem has decent consistency throughout, and the AI manages to be, dare-i-say, creative in its word choice. “A single, unshakable insurance tower of wealth” sounds a bit odd, but as a symbol for corporate capitalism, it is not bad. Or is it the AI itself that becomes an “insurance tower of wealth”? There is room for interpretation, haha.

This poem appeared after trying the prompt less than five times. Anything that came after (in about 10-20 tries) was either not in the poem style or incoherent and not worth sharing. A reminder that serendipity and luck is an important factor when finding fun output.

As a final note, this poem was also created by GPT-NEO like the other poems so far. It seems to be better at understanding that I want poems out of short sentences, while the GPT models do not.
