A number of poets on the All Poetry site have discussed the use of AI in poetry. One critique by AI of a poem talked about poetic techniques such as rhyme, alliteration, and assonance and gave examples that were incorrect. To me, it seemed that it was looking at the letters, but not their sounds (because words are not written phonetically.

I wrote this poem quite deliberately. There are no rhymes, although it looks as if every couplet rhymes. The poem has no real meaning, I chose the end words from a list of misrhymed heteronyms. So the first line ends in read, but the word is pronounced "reed" in this context. Once those words were chosen, a context was made up for each sentence, and I tried to tie them together so it would look like a coherent work. Most of my normal work contains much alliteration, so I took out as much as possible (I missed removing those pesky "s"s in line S3L4).

  

AI's response (from Bing)

"This is a very interesting poem. It seems to be about a person who is killed while reading a book, and then reflects on their life and death in a sarcastic and bitter tone. The poem has a rhyme scheme of AABBCC, and uses some poetic devices such as alliteration, assonance, and imagery. Here are some possible questions you can ask yourself to analyze this poem further:

"What is the significance of the book that the speaker was reading? Was it a symbol of something they valued or enjoyed?
Why did the speaker say that the script told them to take a dive? Was this a reference to a movie or a play, or a metaphor for fate or destiny?
How does the speaker feel about the Devil and God? Do they blame them for their death, or do they accept it as inevitable?
What does the speaker mean by saying that they are Polish? Is this a statement of their identity, or a way of expressing their resentment or pride?
What is the tone and mood of the poem? How does the speaker use language to convey their emotions and attitude?

The poem has NO rhyme scheme as it was deliberately chosen for words that look like rhymes to not rhyme: Score: Peter 15, AI love. The poet says he is Polish because it does not rhyme with abolish. PB 30, AI love. Same for the script told him to take a dive: 40:love. Re: the devil, he's there because someone needed to take a bow that would not rhyme with blow. Game Peter. 

Alliteration and assonance - very little. I normally use these a lot, on autopilot. I took most of the obvious ones out of phrases I "just wrote" and suspect there is no more than any random selection of 100 odd words. Imagery? Yeah, there's a bit, but it's all just random stuff with little coherence. How does the speaker feel about God and the Devil? Convenient names to hang on this poem.

While I have no doubt that AI will get better, at this stage I'm claiming Game, Set and Match for humanity. When it learns that someone is taking the mickey, and doesn't think that phrase is about a Disney mouse, it might be time for a rematch.
