Man Develops AI Clock That Generates A New Poem Every Minute

A man named Matt Webb has developed a clock that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create new poems every minute. The rhyming clock uses the AI chatbot ChatGPT to generate a short two-line rhyme that also tells the time for every minute of the day. Webb, a designer and blogger, says that he made the clock for his bookshelves and is totally into its enthusiastic vibe.

The clock is powered by an old Inky wHAT screen and a Raspberry Pi, which Webb had previously set up as a regular text clock. He had been experimenting with OpenAI's language models for a while and came up with the idea of linking them to the clock. The time serves as a parameter to the prompt, which instructs the AI to respond with two rhyming lines and encourages it to be imaginative and profound.

The clock has gone viral on social media, with many users expressing their desire to buy it. One user commented that the clock is a very cool project and a genius way to integrate ChatGPT. Another said that it is a hilarious and awesome tech, while a third expressed a willingness to buy the clock and let the AI take over their job. The clock has undoubtedly become a shared journey among the creative people.
