> a number of GPT-3's poems like "Uber-Poem" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#uber-poem) or "The Universe Is A Glitch" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#the-universe-is-a-glitch) struck me as a good deal more lively and memorable than the vast majority of the poems I puzzle through reading the New Yorker or Paris Review.

I read them and they are impressive and memorable - because they were generated by a computer. If a person wrote them they would be very unremarkable; nothing about them would stand out, in insight or language or form. What is remarkable is that a computer generated text that is passable as human poetry. If a high schooler or non-artistic college student wrote them, I wouldn't be surprised.

(Also, and maybe I'm too literal here, if poems are seen as 'puzzles', that will miss the point for 99% of them.)
