        Subject: NEW SAVANNA: Claude parodies “Kubla Khan” using Elon Musk, FDR, and Walt Disney as subjects

Willard has talked of how AI are minds of their own kind and need to be
understood in such terms. This post speaks to that in an oblique way. I asked
Claude 3.5 Sonnet to produce three parodies of “Kuala Khan.” The poems it
produced are bad poems, which is what I expected. But it seems to me that they
are bad in a way that no half-way decent human poet would produce.
