“FridAI: ‘Water, Water, Everywhere’, As Read by Artificial Intelligence”, Merzmensch Kosmopol2019-03-15 (GPT poetry; backlinks; similar)⁠:

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once introduced to the world that desolated ship journey in his “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”:

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

Ulysses, Noah and Job, so many allusions are hidden in this masterpiece about “a sadder and a wiser man”. And so I wanted to know, which journey will be chosen by GPT-2, a Deep Learning entity, developed by OpenAI to write texts.

And it wrote me a poem.

My input was the four lined stanza, as cited above. And here is the poetic vision by Artificial Intelligence:

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
No balm in his hair:
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink.
Water, water, everywhere,
Yet we like its rarity.
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink.
Water, water, everywhere.

Yes, the rarity of the water (everywhere) is striking. Even if the hair is suffering without balm. Probably because you cannot drink a drop.

But the poem was not over. AI was embraced by inspiration…
