The haikus it writes are inevitably rubbish, which I think makes it an excellent demo for what you can do with LLMs!

@simon I wish it wasn't QUITE so keen on describing me as "weathered"

@simon Why do the haikus have to be rubbish in order to make a good demo of LLMs?

Simon Willison

@amjith because the idea that you can replace human poetry with a statistical machine learning model is pretty grim!

@simon It may not produce symphonies or concertos but if it can make intro music for a podcast I think that's still a win. I very much want LLMs to keep getting better not because it can replace humans one day but because it can produce things that improve our quality of life and break us out of tedium.

@amjith I’m all-in on AI systems as support mechanisms for human creativity, and I use things like Suno for personal amusement all the time - but I already find my eyes skipping straight over things like clearly AI-generated illustrations, they feel like a waste of my attention

@simon This is not rubbish!

I want a bumper sticker that says “Contentment Abounds”
