A Sonnet Written by AI Shakespeare

Today, I have found a bot called WillShakesGPT. I told him to write a sonnet starting with “I feelest sad today”. Let’s see how it works:

A Sonnet of Melancholy

I feelest sad today, for some reason quite ill,
The sun dost still shine, yet my heart will not thrill,
I walketh through yon garden yet findeth no fun,
The birds sweetly sing yet their song moves me none

My mind doth wander to so long ago,
What joys have I known that now have turned to woe?
Youth hast fled from me, mine beauty hast decayed,
The friends of mine youth have now all fadeth away

Where hast thou gone blithe spirit that lived within?
The smiles that did come without thinking of sin?
Mine fancy hath dulled, mine imagination doth wane
Hath joy deserted me or am I the cause of this pain?

Not joy hath deserted me, for inside I am still whole,
Tis I that hath changed, minus vigor and soul,
Though sad I may feel, I must gather mine wits,
For even in melancholy, wise lessons are writ.
