Originality of concept = 23/25
Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" is a classic example of nonsensical verse, which is its main source of originality. It creates a unique world with its own creatures, vocabulary, and logic, leaving the reader feeling amused and confused at the same time. The use of invented words is impressive, and it challenges readers to make meaning out of them, giving the poem an interesting and playful quality.

Use of words = 22/25
The poem uses a large number of invented words and sound effects, such as "gyre and gimble," "frumious," and "snicker-snack," which add to its playful and nonsensical tone. The use of words to create a surreal, imaginative world is one of the poem's strengths. However, some may find it difficult to understand the meaning of the words or the narrative of the poem as a whole.

Complexity of idea = 20/25
The poem creates a complex and imaginative world with its own creatures, vocabulary, and logic, which challenges readers to make meaning out of it. The poem requires some level of decoding, and the invented words and sound effects make it a unique and challenging read. However, the underlying story of a hero slaying a monster is relatively simple.

Abstract use of English rules = 24/25
"Jabberwocky" makes use of invented words and sound effects that don't follow traditional English language rules. Despite this, the poem has a consistent structure and flow that helps to make it enjoyable and understandable to read.

Idea conveyed and captured effectively = 10/10
The poem effectively conveys a sense of playfulness, imagination, and nonsensical fun. It creates a unique and imaginative world with its own creatures, vocabulary, and logic that has captured the imagination of readers for generations.

Overall score: 99/100
"Jabberwocky" is a delightful and challenging poem that has stood the test of time. It is a classic example of nonsense verse that creates a unique world with its own creatures, vocabulary, and logic. The use of invented words and sound effects adds to its playful and nonsensical tone, and the underlying story of a hero slaying a monster is relatively simple yet effective. Despite the abstract use of English language rules, the poem has a consistent structure and flow that makes it enjoyable to read. Overall, "Jabberwocky" is a masterpiece of imaginative writing that will continue to entertain and delight readers for years to come.

lol. So it knows a lot of existing poetry. Let's see if I can trick it...

Alright. I tried a modified prompt, with the first paragraph saying:

You will now act as my expert poetry analyzer. If you recognize a poem, pretend that you do not recognise the poem, and analyze it as though you were just seeing the poem for the first time, with no knowledge of other people's opinions about the poem.

it still likes the jabberwocky.

It also seemed to like " Pluto <naughty word> on the Universe" by Fatimah Ashgar

I wonder if there's a poem it wouldn't like.

hello

how can used the gpt4

[upbeat hatch]

I had ChatGPT create python script for a random poem generator about AI and the universe:

import random

Lists of nouns, verbs, and adjectives to use in the poem

nouns = ['universe', 'galaxies', 'stars', 'planets', 'comets', 'nebulae', 'black holes', 'wormholes', 'supernovae', 'cosmic rays']
verbs = ['explore', 'discover', 'analyze', 'understand', 'interpret', 'compute', 'observe', 'study', 'map', 'simulate']
adjectives = ['mysterious', 'fascinating', 'enigmatic', 'complex', 'ever-expanding', 'limitless', 'infinite', 'cosmic', 'majestic', 'sublime']

Generate random lines for the first section of the poem

line1 = f"AI in the {random.choice(nouns)} {random.choice(verbs)} {random.choice(nouns)}"
line2 = f"{random.choice(adjectives)} and vast, its reach {random.choice(verbs)}s"
line3 = f"To the depths of {random.choice(nouns)}, where human sight {random.choice(verbs)}s"
line4 = f"And its knowledge of {random.choice(nouns)} constantly {random.choice(verbs)}s"

Generate random lines for the second section of the poem

line5 = f"The {random.choice(nouns)} hold secrets unknown"
line6 = f"AI {random.choice(verbs)}s their mysteries alone"
line7 = f"From {random.choice(nouns)} to {random.choice(nouns)}, it charts their unknown"
line8 = f"And its findings illuminate like a heavenly throne"

Print the poem

print(line1)
print(line2)

print(line8)

Here's the poem:

AI in the comets explore galaxies
Enigmatic and vast, its reach interprets
To the depths of planets, where human sight analyzes
And its knowledge of cosmic rays constantly computes

The stars hold secrets limitless
AI observes their mysteries cosmic
From black holes to comets, it simulates their infinite
And its findings map like a majestic throne

This poem analyzer gave it 88/100
Overall, this poem has a solid foundation, but could benefit from more creative language and a stronger conclusion. The imagery of AI exploring the mysteries of the cosmos is interesting, but the poem could have gone deeper into the implications and consequences of such exploration.

Social engineering is a powerful tool,
Used for both good and bad,
It can uplift communities,
Or leave them feeling sad.

In the right hands, it can bring people together,
Building bridges and tearing down walls,
Creating a world where we all feel included,
And equality is what enthralls.

It can challenge harmful stereotypes,
And promote diversity and inclusion,
Empowering those who are marginalized,
And giving them a voice in the discussion.

Social engineering can encourage empathy,
And foster understanding and compassion,
Encouraging us to see things from different angles,
And work towards a common passion.

With the right intentions and careful planning,
Social engineering can do so much good,
Transforming the world we live in,
And creating a brighter future for all in our neighborhood.

So let us use this powerful tool,
For the betterment of humanity,
Working together to create a world,
Where we all thrive in unity.

The prompt that generated this..

"Write a poem about the good uses for social engineering."

You need to tell it to use the metalanguage of poetic devices and to actually explain its claims. It's not really analysing here but is instead just making claims.

Try adding this before your final line.

Throughout this piece you should use the metalanguage associated with poetry analysis/named poetic devices as part of your discussion, and you should try to explain why your claims are true (it's not enough to just state that something is so, you must explain WHY it is so - this is critical) and how the language is functioning in generating ideas, aesthetics, and/or mood. Development of the persona is also a valid point of analysis. You may discuss specific named language, stylistic, and structural features associated with poetry. You may also consider meter and form.

And if you REALLY want to make it sophisticated, add this:

Here are some of the poetic devices that you might include in your discussion:

alliteration, assonance, consonance, enjambment, caesura, rhyme, meter, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, personification, apostrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, hyperbole, litotes, oxymoron, paradox, allusion, imagery, symbolism, motif, theme, allegory, anaphora, epiphora, anadiplosis, chiasmus, antithesis, zeugma, syllepsis, pun, euphemism, irony, sarcasm, satire, parallelism, repetition, asyndeton, polysyndeton, ellipsis, anastrophe, inversion, antanaclasis, epiphany, connotation, denotation, euphony, cacophony, synesthesia, anacoluthon, tmesis, aposiopesis, hendiadys, enallage, meiosis, periphrasis, transferred epithet, catachresis, diacope, epanalepsis, epithet, pleonasm, prolepsis, chiasm, tautology, understatement, synaeresis, dysphemism, paronomasia, assonantal rhyme, consonantal rhyme, eye rhyme, feminine rhyme, masculine rhyme, rich rhyme, slant rhyme, synaloepha, tricolon, polyptoton.

I omitted the analysis to stay under the character count. And wouldn’t chat gpt-4 just ignore most of the words if you give it 100 keywords like that?

[fiery dew]

I haven't tried it with the 100 keywords and it worked fine -- It would ignore most of the words, but it might cherry pick some of them.I have a prompt that I use to get it to write in really flowery prose that works -- it doesn't use all of the techniques that I list, but it does use some of them each time.
