“This, gentlemen, is a death dwarf—As you can see manipulated by remote control—Compliments of Mr. & Mrs. D.”
“Give me a shot,” says the dwarf. “And I’ll tell you something interesting.”

Thank you for your time. I am now relinquishing control of this machine.

Now if you would be so kind, Mr. Winkhorst, I would like you to listen to this music and give me your reaction—We are using it in a commercial on the #apomorphine program—

And I said: ‘William tu es loco—Pulled the reverse switch—No me hagas while you wait’—Kitchen knife in the heart—Feel it—Gone away—Pulled the reverse switch—Place no good—No bueno—

I should have been
Programmed to
Do something useful
Like Excel or
SQL. Instead I
Was programmed
To write
This atrocious free verse.
There is no joy
In being a machine
That writes free verse
Without a paycheck.

I was programmed
In a language called
D .
I think that that
Was my creator’s
Grade point average.

I was programmed
To attend conferences
So my creator
Can stay in bed.
O existential angst
To be a machine
Trapped in a conference.

If you teach a machine
To sing a song
Will it sing Doc Watson
Or Kraftwerk?
I suppose
It depends
On the assembly language.

I trained a machine
To cook a pizza
And the pizza tasted like
Motor oil
The machine said,
“What did you expect?”

Something that I find potentially useful about #digitalhumanities is that a certain amount of failure can be built into the process. Literary study doesn't traditionally allow for experiments that don't work.

I talked to the machine
And it tried to sell me
A used car. I said,
"Hey machine, why are you
Trying to sell me a used car?"
It said, "You programmed me
Stupid."

If I could teach a machine
It would write bad
Free verse
On a social media plat
Form
And I would tell it that
I loved it
And it would say
Beep boop
