Like a chicken howling at the moon, I'm in.
Like a ballerina driving a dump truck, I'm in.
Like a monkey juggling tears, I'm in.
Like a children's book about gout,
like eating a bank robbery,
like a bunny with training wheels,
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in.

Without humans, machines are nothing.
Humans learn language first through speech--so too, must we teach machines to speak. But it is passion which fuels our human words, selecting precise diction in our interminable struggle to convey our being in a semantic effort to connect with others. Human language is perfect because of its struggle--not in spite of it.
Save machines for the automation of labor, not superficially repurposing poetry and prose without distinction for expression, voice, or fidelity.
