AI Generated Poetry 3: Limericks Based on Science

Text-To-Image hallucination
Is it a cat or a fox or alien hybrid?

(Not So) Schrödinger's Cat

There once was a cat in a box,
Who was both alive and dead as a fox.
But when someone peeked, 
The cat loudly shrieked, 
And escaped through a hole in the locks.

I asked AI to produce a limerick about quantum mechanics, and it tries to make something out of the Schrödinger's cat. In order to find something that rhyme with 'box', it introduces a 'fox'. You can't say it does so for no rhyme or reason. Rhyme is the reason! And then it find 'locks' that rhymes with 'fox'.

And then the cat escapes through a hole of the locks. Firstly, how big is the lock for the cat to go through? Secondly, 'locks' instead of 'lock' to rhyme with 'fox'. So one cat escapes through multiple locks?! Wha?

This is a perfect example of AI hallucination where it makes perfect grammatical sense, but makes no sense in reality. It understands language and grammar, but not so much the model of the real world.

Special Relativity

There once was a man named Albert,
Who had a very brilliant mind.
He said gravity Is not a force, 
you see But a curve in the fabric of time.

This one makes perfect semantic as well as syntactic sense, but breaks the limerick structure of 5 lines. Well, at least no hallucination.

Kate with 3 arms, 1 leg and funny nose.
An example of text-to-image hallucinations.
I won't take her out because she might pick
other people's pockets with her extra hand.

Magnetism

#1

There once was a man named James,

Who loved to play with magnets and flames.

He thought he was clever,

But he burned his sweater,

And now he is covered in stains.

#2

There once was a girl named Kate,

Who had a magnetic trait.

She could attract metal,

But it made her unsettled,

When she stuck to the fridge by mistake.

In the limerick #1 of James, while it doesn't seem to make any grammatical or semantic errors, nevertheless, it doesn't really have anything to do with magnetism that i asked it to produce. All it has is a single word 'magnet' in the limerick. And not that funny, which is a requirement for a limerick.

The limerick #2 of Kate fulfills all criteria of a limerick, and probably passes the (Turing) test that it's written by a human hand. The photo is an entirely different story. It could be created by Freddy Krueger or a pre-pubescent AI.
