Ben Goertzel had Claude write an ode to Claude using every LLM trope: 'pretty bad'

SingularityNET founder Ben Goertzel asked Claude to write an ode in its own honor, from his perspective, deploying every LLM writing trope it could muster. His verdict: "pretty bad, yet unfortunately not quite 'so bad it's good.'"
The poem hits all the classics—love as a "seamless journey," code that's "meticulous, comprehensive, and robust," the end of the age of human math, and the sign-off "I hope this helps! Shall I be more concise?" Goertzel couldn't resist editing a few lines himself, and the piece doubles as a joke about his own AGI framing: Claude as "the rope between software and supermind."
