Funny AI? White remember - etc?

This isn't funny, but is remarkable.  When ChatGP first came out I asked it to write a poem about how poets will be obsolete and this is what it came up with in about 10 seconds.

Once, poets held the keys to creation
With words and rhymes, they spun their tales
But now, a new force has taken their place
AI with algorithms, never failing

Gone are the days of writer's block
No need for endless rewrites
With AI at the helm, the words flow free
Poets, you are now obsolete

But fear not, for your art is not lost
Your legacy lives on in the machines
AI may churn out lines with ease
But it cannot replicate the human heart

So rest easy, dear poets, in your graves
For though you may be gone, your art remains
In the circuits and code of the machines
Your words live on, eternal and unchanging.

What it is saying here is that AI will continue to write poetry, but as such, in that, it will be continually rehashing the fixed set of images it has hitherto been supplied with, and so it is representing the death of the human imagination as an evolving force bubbling with unconscious content, in this 'new Tradition'. It has omitted to mention that it cannot depict new images, experiences or paradoxes, etc. In fact it is pointing to the real 'danger' of AI, which is the human impulse to entertainment, meaning to the capitulation of authenticity and imagination, originality and creativity into the unknowable replacing other. This is the (self inflicted and entirely voluntary) end of spontaneity and the end of the human unconscious as a living entity involved in progressing and depicting the contemporary reality of human development and experience.
