You haven't read a lot of schoolkid poetry posted at public libraries, have you?

That's what I found. All the "human" ones were easy, but then you had to play "machine or awful poet?" on the rest.
I answered 'human' for drawer/drawers, because "surely an algorithm would be designed to avoid this kind of thing? surely it'd be better than that... must just be a bad poet"
Are you implying that awful poets are in fact not human?
I believe I could make a solid argument for that. :P

But no, it's just that all the bad poets in the original article were machines in the end.

I'm not sure that the majority of that really qualifies as poetry, at least not in a man vs. machine context.
