Comparing a ChatGPT poem "in the style of" a poet to a real poem by that poet, not to slag on chatbots, but to demonstrate some of the things that make good poetry good. A thread.

Now, if you play with ChatGPT and poetry at all, you'll find that it really really likes to make poems rhyme, even when you tell it not to. So in order to make a more interesting comparison I'm going to choose a poet who is very rhymey: A. A. Milne.
I really love Milne's verse for children, but you might think it's among the easiest for a bot to recreate, because his poetry tends to be strictly formal in its rhythm and rhyme, which should be something a machine can recreate.
