It's not clear that writing poetry is a bad use case. Reasoning models seem to actually do pretty well with creative writing and poetry. Deepseek's R1, for example, has much better poem structure than the underlying V3, and writers are saying R1 was the first model where they actually felt like it was a useful writing companion. R1 seems to think at length about word choice, correcting structure, pentameter, and so on.
- 1propionyl 2y agoIndeed. I would assume that a reasoning model would do far better at things like actually maintaining meter or rhyme scheme, something that models (even with good attention mechanisms) generally do very poorly at.
- theturtle32 2y agoOk, that makes some sense. I guess I was thinking more about the creative and abstract nature of poetry, the free flowing kind, not so much about rigid structures of meter and rhyme.
- fivestones 2y agoHa! So did you mean to have your answer shift into a poem half way through, or was that accidental? Nice.
