Alternatively:
I/O, I/O, off to the bus we go
Dah dah dah, another one rides the BUS
He watched the I/O
I asked ChatGPT:
Write me a poem in the style of Old MacDonald, only the farmer is farming AI slop
ChatGPT said:
Old MacSlopper had a farm,
A-I, A-I, oh!
And on that farm he rendered sludge,
A-I, A-I, oh!
With a prompt-prompt here,
And a "vibe" there,
Here a shrug, there a shrug,
Every fact a blurry smudge.
Old MacSlopper had a farm,
A-I, A-I, oh!
He grew six-fingered CEOs,
A-I, A-I, oh!
And smiling stock-photo astronauts
Who baked artisanal sourdough.
With a glitch-glitch here,
And a blur there,
Here a watermark, there an ear,
Extra elbows far too near.
Old MacSlopper had a farm,
A-I, A-I, oh!
He harvested hot takes by the bale,
A-I, A-I, oh!
"Top Ten Secrets Doctors Fear!"
Freshly copied without care.
With a listicle here,
And a buzzword there,
Here "game-changing," there "synergy,"
Nothing saying anything.
Old MacSlopper had a farm,
A-I, A-I, oh!
He fed the bots more bot-made feed,
A-I, A-I, oh!
The slop begat more shiny slop,
An endless beige stampede.
With a churn-churn here,
And a paste there,
Here a rewrite, there a splice,
Every sentence warmed up twice.
Old MacSlopper had a farm,
A-I, A-I, oh!
Then one day the server sighed,
A-I, A-I, oh!
"Please upload a human thought..."
404'd and quietly cried.
With a "hmm..." here,
And a pause there,
Here an insight, rare indeed—
Nothing left from slop to feed.
Old MacSlopper closed the farm...
A-I... I... oh.
This was not worth the water, energy, or the increased consumer memory costs.
It might be worth pushing OpenAI that much closer to insolvency
They are solvent? Would not call that when make 13B but burn 34B and rely on yearly vc money inject to survive.
If you have a chance, listen to John Stewart podcast with Cory Doctorow... they seem to be burning much more than 34B. AI is a very effective money furnace.
Hey. One thing it good at. Finally.
You are still technically solvent as long as you can pay your bills, even if you are using someone else's money to do it.
I'm going to send you an upvote not because you had AI write you a poem, which was bad, but because you were at least honest about it.
Don't take the downvotes personally. A lot of people are anti-AI, and that's their prerogative. If you want to use AI, keep being honest about it, even if it gets you downvotes.
