AI gives me the creeps. Not because it might want to murder us all. Just because it might want to read us its bad poetry.
And by bad poetry, I mean worse than the Vogons. We're talking Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings levels of bad

I told ChatGPT to write an epic poem on peanut butter and this is what it produced:

O Muse, sing of the humble legume,
Whose destiny was forever changed,
By the hands of humans, who did presume,
To transform it into something strange.

From the fields, the peanuts were brought,
And sorted, cleaned, and roasted hot,
Then ground to paste, with care and thought,
Into a spread that many sought.

The machines, they whirred and spun,
As workers toiled, from dawn till done,
To craft the perfect blend and pun,
Of crunchy or smooth, for everyone.

Oh, peanut butter, how you have grown,
From simple snack to a throne,
For you are now a flavor well-known,
And loved from shore to shore, on your own.

With crinkly bindlewurdles, mashurbitries.
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't!

@professorkiosk At least it doesn't want to build any hyperspace bypasses.
@JamesHMcLaren @professorkiosk Loving this hoopy conversation, and in fact I've been thinking a lot about Wonko the Sane and his Asylum these days... Adams was so ahead of his time.
@professorkiosk Can someone just design an AI that reads AI output so that we don't have to?
@jpthuot03 This would be the ideal solution. Computers reading other computers' output so we don't have to
@professorkiosk
At least it comes with an off switch, which isn't standard for human poets.
@professorkiosk Someone has to give the Vogons a run for their money.
