The Poem and the Machine

YOU + POEM + AI & ML =

For the practice of today’s session, we introduce some lines of poems as input into the GTP-3 ( an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.)

I say to her, "I am not a child anymore. I am not waiting for you to call me. 
I can hear you. I can walk. I can talk. I am no longer falling." 
She says, "You are my child, you are my heart. Come back. I need you. I am sorry." 
I say to her, "I am not a child anymore. I am not waiting for you to call me. 
I can hear you. I can walk. I can talk."
