A sonnet about Psyduck by ChatGPT
Oh Psyduck, with your head always aching,
Your vacant stare and your constant confusion,
You waddle around, forever shaking,
A cute and quirky pocket monster fusion.
Your psychic powers are quite impressive,
But they're hard to control, I must confess,
Sometimes you seem almost obsessive,
Your head in a perpetual distress.
Despite your flaws, you're loved by many,
Your charm and innocence win hearts each day,
And though you're often seen as quite zany,
Your loyal fans will always come and stay.
So here's to you, dear Psyduck, our friend,
May your headaches and woes soon come to an end.

To answer my question, no, AI is not going to take over our jobs soon. Not yet. I asked it to write a poem about a bad day, Bukowski style. It comes out all textbook rhymes. Bukowski don't rhyme. Bukowski writes in short breaths. He cusses. AI does a decent job in rhyming. But in imagery, in emotions, in forms and tools, it has much to learn. I bet it does not know of line breaks (shall I try it on them?). But the thing is, machines learn very fast. We may see a free verse from them very soon.
My hands are sweating...
