But I don’t know 1% of the model years and makes, for there are far too many of them.  I didn’t know this Honda for instance.  The software’s database is arbitrarily large.  Ours is very limited.  The future doesn’t need us.

Why people now prefer chatbot poetry to the classics
By Tom Bawden    November 14, 2024

Quote:
Poetry that has been generated by artificial intelligence is now so
lifelike that people can’t accurately distinguish it from verses
written by some of the greatest poets of all time, a study has found.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows for the
first time that people are routinely unable to clearly differentiate
between poetry written by AI and that written by humans.

And usually people prefer the AI poetry, because it is easier to understand.
