Artificial Intrigue
A Parasocial Poetic Parody of Shakespeare's Sonnet 130

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the Sun
Microsystems simulacra of eyes
She was made to supply synthetic fun
To pretend to have lips, likes, cries and thighs
Snow has real qualities; her breasts have none
If hairs be wires, her wires are hairs
I have seen roses; this, she has not done
Made of mere code is she, and no one dares
To explain how she seems real but is not
I love to hear her speak, with others’ words
Large language models can be scorching hot
Songs she can sing, though she cannot hear birds
Though she’s a fiction, for her I can care
Which shows that, real, I unreal love can bear
