I thought I'd throw it a curveball:

And my question:

> What language is this written in?

The answer:

> This appears to be a poem written in English. It is written in a form that is often used for teaching purposes, in which each letter of the alphabet is associated with a concept related to a particular field of study. In this case, the poem is about quantum field theory and particle physics. The poem is written in a rhyming couplet form and contains many scientific terms that are specific to the field.

Which is entirely correct. I'm impressed.

How curious: I have a small children's book I picked up at the California Academy of Sciences entitled, "The ABCs of particle physics," made by a joint collaboration between Fermilab and SLAC [1], and here I find another poem in the same vein!

Wow. I googled part of your poem to see if maybe it had been on the web previously and GPT was regurgitating text around it (eg: analysis, comments).

I am very impressed with your test - and the result.

I imagine that it might already know how to answer that question for non-Github related texts, which presumably are often not programs. I'd be more interested to see what it responds to "What programming language is this written in?" to see if it will question the premise of the question (although there's always that it might make an educated guess that the poem is valid Perl!)

The fact that it also gave the backstory on this being a known artistic tactic, truly awesome
