Unlike previously shown poems, this poem has been generated by an AI. This can show our attempt to bend computers to our definition of humanity, and where it most certainly falls short. This poem lacks a level of cohesion and consistency that most other poetry shown in this anthology contains. There is a certain lack of consistency and connection between lines, and at times even within the lines themselves, as though they are different unique thoughts entirely. Ultimately, this shows a relatively competent next-word generator, being set in a situation which is far from ideal for its design, and as such it struggles. That is not to say that it is not a poem, however it is not a poem in the more traditional sense. This poem is much more akin to a child's early attempt at poetry; not fully understanding the end goal, merely an attempt to replicate the design and linguistic feel of others.
