Kimi K3 Selects Two "Model Poems"
emollick · x · 2026-07-19
Ethan Mollick asked Kimi K3 to choose two poems that best represent the "current state of GenAI models," with the caveat to think carefully rather than just picking popular ones. Its reasoning process spanned 32 pages and featured numerous loops and dead ends. The author first ruled out candidates like *Ozymandias*, *The Second Coming*, *The Sorcerer's Apprentice*, *I Contain Multitudes*, and *The Tyger*, ultimately selecting two: "Ars Poetica?" by Czesław Miłosz and "Autopsychography" by Fernando Pessoa. The author believes the former captures the model's internal structure like an "invisible guest in a house without a key," while the latter accurately depicts the predicament of generative models regarding "disguise/performance/authenticity."
