AI World News Poetry

Hacker News

I wasted a couple of hours today making a site that generates AI authored poems based on world news headlines. The news comes from the BBC, verse from OpenAI API and it writes a new poem every 20 minutes (faster than the news typically moves, I've found.) This effort was partly inspired by Matt Webb’s AI clock ( https://twitter.com/genmon/status/1636698753007603713 ) which writes a poem each minute that contains the current time. I thought this was brilliant. Kind of a poetic AI version of Christian Marclay’s 24-hour cinematic masterpiece “The Clock” which sequentially stitched together a whole day of clocks and watches from the history of film. I experimented with my own version of this but the results were always a bit naff and motivational. Using AI for summarising and presenting real world data as a kind of ambient display is an idea that stuck with me, though, and this is the result. Is it actually useful? Could it be a viable replacement for news doom scrolling? I’m not sure yet. Probably not. It was fun to make, though. Let me know what you think of the results.
