A Rollicking Rhyme: Making AI Tick One Poem at a Time
Listen closely to the melodious discourse of artificial intelligence (AI). With a rhythm more consistent than a clock and rhymes that put Dr. Seuss to shame, Matt Webb, a clever product developer, aims to redefine your perception of time. Yes, in a surprise package from Kickstarter, Webb delivers “Poem/1” – an AI that tells time through two-line verses as Ars Technica wittily reveals.
Key Points
- AI is breaking free from its cold, systematic stereotype with a snappy, rhyming twist. Poem/1, a poetic timekeeper, is the brainchild of product developer Matt Webb, who took an eccentric approach towards telling time… and it rhymes!
- Time is no longer tick-tock, but a couplet song! Instead of digits and chronometers, imagine getting updates about time in an ‘iambic pentameter’. That’s Poem/1 for you.
- Matt has floated this ingenious endeavor on Kickstarter as a package of sonnets, limericks, and just about anything in an iambic beat that subscribers can follow for a rhythmic know-how of time.
- Webb’s main aim is to foster a sense of curiosity and engagement, busting the myth that AI can’t be creative or emotionally expressive. Now, who wouldn’t welcome such an Avafrom-ex-machina moment?
Final Thoughts
Where we once monotoned, “Time flies,” we might now find ourselves humming, “Flies time, in verses divine.” Thank you Webb, for turning the relentless ticking tock into tinker tailor soldier spy talks. For anyone tired of their Alexa’s humdrum responses, Webb’s rhyming AI torchbearer is a refreshing break. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while an AI croons the time into your ears with the enigmatic charm of a poetic muse.
Bring on the quirky, AI-based innovation – if this is not proof that AI has a sense of humor (even if a little rhyming obsession), we don’t know what is. So here’s to more groundbreaking ventures where logic meets lyric! Can we have one AI for horoscope forecasts in haiku form next, perhaps?

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a style of Romanticism, an image depicts a moonlit sea with an imposing pirate ship anchored near a deserted island. On the ship’s deck, an AI Robot Pirate, looking somewhat human but with metallic skin and electronic eyes, stands majestically. It’s holding an intricately carved pocket-watch, representing the ‘timekeeper’. The AI’s other hand holds a parchment open, symbolizing the poem with binary codes subtly imprinted on it. The romantic backdrop features celestial constellations, juxtaposing futuristic elements with the Golden Age of Pirates. This creates harmony between the theme of the past, poetry, timekeeping and AI technology.
