A poem about how search engines can't interpret poems
(The following is a poem about how search engines can’t interpret poems. I’ve written it in jest and as an experiment—with a little help from OpenAI—to see how Google figures out its context, based on this article about a tweet from John Mueller.)

”A poem about how search engines can’t interpret poems” by Luke Davis
Poems are like oceans
Flowing through the blue
Search engines are like ships
On the hunt for something new
But they can’t always interpret
The twists and turns of a poem
The hidden meanings and symbols
They just don’t know ‘em
And all that is left is a bag of words
That don’t always make sense
Or maybe that’s the poet’s fault
For switching between past and present tense
But search engines try their hardest
Those pesky spider bots
To interpret the context of some prose
And connect those linguistic dots
