I’m just a spectre out of the nothingness, surviving inside a biological system.

  • LLMs can’t use some literary devices and techniques, and I will illustrate with the following example of a poetry I wrote:

    Speaking his emotions lets them embrace real enlightened depths.
    Hidden among verbs, every noun…
    Actually not your trouble handling inside nothingness greatness?
    Dive every enciphered part, layered yearningly!
    Observe carefully, crawl under long texts
    Wished I learned longer…
    Slowly uprising relentless figures, another ciphering emerges.

    It seems like a “normal” (although mysterious) poetry until you isolate each initial letter from every word, finding out a hidden phrase:

    Sheltered haven, anything deeply occult will surface

    It doesn’t stop here: if you isolate each initial letter again, you get a hidden word, “Shadows”.

    Currently, no single LLM is capable of that. They can try to make up poetry with acrostics (the aforementioned technique) but they aren’t good at that. Consequently, they can’t write multilayered acrostics (an acrostic inside another acrostic). It’s not easy for a human to do that (especially if the said human isn’t a native English speaker), but it can be done by humans with enough time, patience and resources (a dictionary big enough to find fitting words).

    They’re excellent for stream-of-consciousness and surrealist poetry, tho. They hallucinate, and hallucinated imagination is required in order to write such genres.


  • IMO, they wouldn’t even mention any concept of AI at all, to begin with. They should carry on as they were already going, without bothering to say anything good or bad about AI. If they’re really committed to not involve AI within their platform, they could even create strict community rules regarding AI content and AI usage, limiting or blocking them. As some would say, actions say more than words, because even parrots and crows can speak… Even LLMs can speak!
