Mass Production
We collaborated with Matt Webb founder of Acts Not facts on design of his AI powered clock for mass production. Poem/1 is a playful clock that writes up the time in a unique tiny poem every minute. It is using Chat GPT to generate the rhyming poems which are displayed on an e-paper screen.
It has been prompted to be profound and so are the poems…sometimes. But they can also be weird, silly, lyrical…with the occasional glitch or AI ‘hallucination’.
Poem/1 has raised over £90k on Kickstarter
AI powered rhyming poems
“Tick-tock the clock strikes four fifty-four, / Time to sit and relax. Don’t work anymore”
“Colours mingle, brush takes flight. / Three fifty-seven, a palette of light”
“It is almost noon, don’t be a loon! / Can’t you see the sun shinning high as a balloon.”
“As the clock strikes thirty-four, / Embrace this moment, treasure it more.”
