this is why I like to hover over the raised footnotes: not only for comedy gold, but to detect that bait and switch. I did not know this poet existed.

Wonderfully artificial, AI raised to the level of language euphoria--and therefore AI at it's most suspiciously para-human. Is this really AI or is it about AI, a near-miss AI, an AI Imgined, approximate and defeated by a glorious specificity of which it is incapable?

Maybe AI will bring out the best in all of us as we try to wrestle it to the ground with greater and greater forays into our personhood? Someday ot will be revolutionary just to renmain human.

I am grateful to you for heading me towards the imprerssive Florence Ai Ogawa, whose writings I now intend to read with care (and probably with joy).
