Me: Can you write a blackout poem inspired by this book?
PDF: Sure, here's a blackout poem inspired by "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid":
Golden strands of music and math,
A puzzle of paradoxes and paths.
Recursive structures, self-reference,
A journey through the mind's expanse.
Bach's fugues and Escher's art,
Gödel's theorems that tear apart
Our notions of truth and certainty,
And lead us to infinity.
An eternal braid of ideas and themes,
That weave together like a dream.
A musico-logical adventure awaits,
For those who dare to contemplate.
Hahaha, not bad :)
- burkaman 4y agoThat is a solid poem, is it actually a blackout poem based on whatever PDF you put in though?
- zw123456 4y agoYes, I stuck a PDF of Godel, Escher and Bach, which is a book that my favorite prof in grad school gave me when I graduated back in 1980, of course the PDF is a much later version. But I thought it was pretty decent poem about the book. For anyone who doesn't know, a black out poem means it can only use words from the book or work you provide it.
- burkaman 4y agoLooking through a PDF I found I'm pretty sure the words "expanse" and "awaits" are not in there, but it's pretty good. Especially using "musico-logical", that is from the book and probably not something it would use in many other contexts.
- zw123456 3y agoYeah, but awaiting and expansion were in there so I guess we can cut it some slack perhaps.
