I just don't find them interesting as a poet. Even a markov chain can produce good poems once in a while. This is impressive from an AI and machine learning perspective but NLP is one area where I feel there haven't been any fundamental breakthroughs yet as we've seen for images. Perhaps language is much more complex. Visual processing is present in many animals and so it might be that it's simpler at some level. There are very few animals that have evolved to use language like we do. So the underlying models must be far more complex than stacking layers of convolutional layers on top of each other. And compared to the spectacular results in images like Neural style transfer , we're judging these to a very low standard. Here is an actual poem : “You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me.” ― Pablo Neruda, The Captain's Verses
