Transcribe the following English text to IPA:

I wonder if having access to characters actually helps rhyming in English all that much, as English rules of pronunciation are essentially rote-learned anyway. If it were not rote-learning, then it might make different mistakes, for example expecting two words to rhyme because they end with the same suffix.
Perhaps it would be more effective to ask it to produce poems in the format: English0 IPA0 English1 IPA1, where each line is produced in both semantic and phonetic representations. This would give it the context necessary to “see” the rhymes without having to mess around with the tokenization.
