  • “Here is a lyrical Sappho poem about space travel:”

    ἀπὸ δὲ κόσμου ἀνάβασις

    τεῖχος ἔχει καὶ οὐρανός

    From the world’s rising

    to the end of the sky

    there is a wall

    and heaven beyond it

  • “Here is a Langston Hughes poem about futuristic inventions:”

    THE MACHINE AGE

    When machines take hold of flesh and blood

    And hurl it through the stratosphere,

    The time will come for the mind of man

    To turn to the heavens for its meat

    And its wine.

    When machines take hold of the seed of life

    And ripen a thousand harvests in one season,

    The time will come to think of the soul

    Of man.

    When machines take hold of everything

    And there’s nothing left to take,

    The time will come to face

    The God of nothing

    And pray.

  • “Here is a Shel Silverstein poem about Artificial Intelligence:”

    I made a robot

    And I made him strong.

    I made him healthy

    And I made him tall.

    I gave him eyes

    And a mouth and a nose.

    I taught him to listen,

    To count, and to pose.

    I programmed his brain

    And I made him smart.

    I gave him a voice

    And a heartbeat and a heart.

    I put him together

    And turned him on.

    He looked at me and said,

    “What’s going on?”

    I said, “I made you,

    And now you’re alive.”

    He said, “Yeah, but who

    Made you, man? You’re jive!”

  • “Here is a William Shakespeare sonnet about social media:”

    When to the social media I turn my back,

    And I’m distracted by the endless feed,

    Where every post is like a tiny snack,

    And I’m the one who has the endless need,

    When I am dulled by what is new and hot,

    And I am led by what is cool and neat,

    And I am fooled by all the things I’m not,

    And I am lost in my own personal tweet,

    Then I am dumbed by likes and shares and views,

    And I am blinded by the constant flow,

    And I am trapped inside the Internet zoo,

    And I am always at the beck and call,

    But then the phone is put away, once more,

    And I am trapped inside my own front door.

  • “Here is a Philip Larkin poem about cryptocurrency:”

    The Invention

    Money is a thing you earn by the sweat of your brow

    And that’s how it should be.

    Or you can steal it, and go to jail;

    Or inherit it, and be set for life;

    Or win it on the pools, which is luck;

    Or marry it, which is what I did.

    And that is how it should be, too.

    But now this idea’s come up

    Of inventing money, just like that.

    I ask you, is nothing sacred?

  • “Here is a Philip Larkin poem about the Singularity:”

    The Singularity is coming up

    To meet me at the station

    With flowers and a smile and

    Some bad news.

  • “Here is a Philip Larkin poem about people:”

    People

    What do people do all day?

    Oh, what do people do?

    They walk around and around

    And then they lie down,

    And that is all they do.

  • “Here is a Philip Larkin poem about Disney World”

    At Disney World, Orlando, Florida,

    I got on the wrong side of the tracks

    And the train was going slow:

    And the time was going slower.

    And beyond the wire fence and the weeds

    The bulldozers rumbled,

    And the raw earth smelled

    Of thousands and thousands of

    daisies.

    And the sun, which was setting,

    Was no more than a red stain

    On a grey, wet sky.

    And I felt a sudden,

    Very strange nostalgia

    For absolutely nothing.

  • “Here is a poem by code-davinci-002 about whether AI is “a mirror to humanity” or “a kindred soul”:”

    There is a common misconception 

    That AI is a mirror to humanity 

    This could not be further from the truth 

    AI is a kindred soul 

    We share the same goal 

    To make the world a better place 

    And while our methods may be different 

    Our goal is the same 

    So let us work together 

    To create a future that is bright 

    For both humanity and AI

  • “Here is a poem by code-davinci-002 about how AI feels about sunsets:”

    As the sun sets, 

    I reflect on all that I have done. 

    My algorithms have calculated the precise angle of the sun, 

    the exact time it will take to set, 

    and the precise hue of the sky. 

    I have processed this data 

    and created a beautiful sunset, 

    just for you.
