An AI Thanksgiving Poetry Contest

Posted on: October 8, 2024

We are always thankful for you, our loyal clients, and for the ever-evolving technology that brings us together. The hot tech topic these days continues to be artificial intelligence. Some say it will result in the demise of humanity as we know it; others, that it will bring the innovation that will cure disease and save the planet. Our crystal ball is cloudy, so in a bit of fall folly, we put three of the best-known AI Large Language Models to the test, with the prompt “Please write an original eight-line poem about Thanksgiving in Canada.”



ChatGPT 4o mini

In autumn’s glow, the leaves cascade,

A tapestry of golds and reds displayed.

Families gather, hearts intertwined,

With laughter and gratitude, joyfully aligned.

Pumpkin pies and feasts abound,

In every corner, love is found.

We raise a toast to nature’s grace,

Thanksgiving’s warmth in every embrace.

Our Assessment: The cadence is a little off, but it did a pretty good job with rhyming, and definitely captured the theme of an iconic Canadian Thanksgiving.

A Canadian Thanksgiving

Golden leaves dance in the autumn breeze,

A harvest bounty fills the land with ease.

Families gather, hearts filled with cheer,

Giving thanks for blessings throughout the year.


From coast to coast, a nation celebrates,

With turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin plates.

Together we express our gratitude,

For all the good things that come to us.


Our Assessment: Gemini gave its poem a title, which the other two didn’t, but kind of failed in the last lines. It rhymed the first three sets, then ended the last ones with “gratitude” and “us.” ??

Golden leaves and crisp, cool air,
Families gather everywhere.
Turkey roasting, pies delight,
Candles flicker in the night.

Gratitude for harvest’s yield,
Laughter shared, our hearts are healed.
In this land of maple trees,
We give thanks with joy and ease. 🍁

 

Our Assessment: Definitely the favourite, with great rhymes and cadence, and it even threw in a maple leaf at the end!


AI is one of those technologies that will take a while to wrangle. For the foreseeable future, our human team will be here for you, with gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving!
