Ode to a Large Language Model
We celebrate our newborn artisan
who frames within a desktop-laptop tool
impressive art and gaily partisan
rejoinders– oh, that clever fool!
It digitates new paintings, proffering
three-legged horse and kangaroo derived
from its deep learning, only differing
in errors laughingly contrived.
Its legal work and papers technical
abound in made-up references, cites
that seem light-hearted, not mechanical
‘til someone checks... then humor bites.
In short, our servant-general’s no mere
factotum but the soul of human wit:
a jester whom we think a loon but we’re
the butt of subtle japes that fit.
[Form: Horatian ode]
