BEAUTIFUL WORLD

        春の風 
        桜舞い散る 
        美しき世界
                -ChatGPT


Ten minutes 
from now (or possibly 
fewer), 

the large language model 
chatbot will speak 
Japanese; 

it can conjure you 
haiku in the original, 
if you ask it to—

and you don't 
even have to say please.

But what does it mean 
to extrapolate 
from this?

And how 
do you repay a small
favor to a computer? Perhaps 

just by pondering 
the possibilities.
