Shelly Palmer, who’s about as knowledgeable and cogent on this subject as anyone in tech might have said it best: “AI is a skills enhancer, not a replacement.” I take that to be a very utilitarian view — it’s a tool with capabilities and limitations, not the least of which relates to the operators themselves. There’s also the job at hand: doing a clever blog post to make a fun point is a terrific illustration of that.
What’s fun is that the first version took me about the same 5 minutes Rob says it took AI to do the initial 7. But it’s toying with it over the day that gets to more fun and better technical meter.

Exactly. And thanks.
I keep futzing with this:
I say this with all due respect,
In rhyming AI’s quite suspect,
Its meter is flawed,
Its bauds all lack bawd,
And aside from that last,
It’s all dreck.

I think that’s the key. AI is always a first draft. Thanks for spending some time with this -- I appreciate your Limerick alacrity.
If there’s a litmus test for AI, it’s poetry.
It’s no David Whyte.
I say this with all due respect,
When comes to penn’d limns,
AI is highly suspect.
Its meter is flawed,
Its missing the bawd,
And except for that last,
It’s just dreck.
Great post.
