Much of this is begging for, as Nick pointed out, one's cryptic definition of
"computer". Lee posted a nice definition awhile back, one which I think is
flawed. But it was nice anyway:

Smart computer (program).
I imagine playing chess, or go, with a computer. As I play I have a very

There's also a lot of stuff that isn't poetry. He generates Dwarf Fortress

There's even a section where GPT-3 argues that it doesn't really understand
anything (bold at the start is a shortened version of the prompt):

I doubt it. I remember it being in the context of someone asking for a *simple*
