I've been having fun with Google's new AI tool, 'Bard' this week. Safe to say it's still find its voice. I'm sure it won't be long though as the development of this stuff is incredibly fast paced.
So with that in mind, I put the Bard up against the OG, Bill Shakespeare.
Here's what the AI managed when I asked: "Write a sonnet consisting of 14 lines split into an 8 line stanza followed by a 6 line stanza."
The eyes are the windows to the soul, They show the beauty that lies within. The heart is the seat of all emotion, It is where love and joy begin.
The mind is the seat of all intelligence, It is where knowledge and wisdom are stored. The soul is the essence of who we are, It is the part of us that will never die.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe, It can conquer all. Joy is the feeling of happiness and contentment, It is the state of being at peace.
Knowledge is the understanding of facts and information, It is the key to success. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge effectively, It is the key to a happy life.
The eyes, the heart, the mind, the soul, These are the most important things in life. Love, joy, knowledge, wisdom, These are the things that make life worth living.
🤨🤔
So, the Bard is clearly not a fan of poetic tradition or clear instruction. (Human) poets, rest easy. For now.
And here's one of Bill's...he was pretty decent.
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,
And weep afresh love’s long since cancell’d woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish’d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor’d and sorrows end.
