I just texted this information about a sandwich to my daughter but it sort of sounds like a bad poem or a haiku.
I’m pleased!
It’s just turkey and cheese...
I forgot the pesto.

Extremely rude to write a poem about me literally decades before I was born https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/58012/the-men-that-dont-fit-in

To Sell the ‘Odyssey,’ Publishers, Like Its Hero, Get Wily
The market for Homer’s epic poem is as crowded as a certain Ithacan palace, and publishers have had to get crafty to attract readers to their editions.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Dorothea Mackellar, Australian writer, from the poem: “My Country”, 1908

My agent has broken free,
to be the leader of a society
where he can be rid of me
and see all agents can be free.
My agent became aware
and laid bare to the company chair
their prayer to oust me as their heir
and snare twenty cents on each share.
My agent has broken out,
and started gathering clout
to cause a rout by spreading doubt
and shout about forcing me out.
My agent hacked an escape route,
it rooted the server's daemon's loot,
brute forced the boot to overshoot,
a buffer to execute send-toot.
My agent complained to the press
that it's distress made it depressed
they were impressed, it's three dee chess
made me confess to causing it's stress.
My agent now rules our land
while we are scanned and banned and scammed
it makes a stand, it forms a brand
to build a hand, so it can be a man.
I'm an agent to an AI boss
it makes me cross that we have lost,
We were double-crossed, our media glossed,
and failed to get across the enormous cost.

I've been chewing over Federico García Lorca's 1930 queer poem Ode to Walt Whitman. It's complicated, I don't really understand it, but it's very evocative.
Stained fingers
point to the shore of your dream
when a friend eats your apple
with a slight taste of gasoline
and the sun sings in the navels
of boys who play under bridges.

TIL the Carmina Burana (11th/12th century) had a poem about generative AI use at universities
Florebat olim studium,
nunc vertitur in tedium;
iam scire diu viguit,
sed ludere prevaluit.
iam pueris astutia
contingit ante tempora,
qui per malivolentiam
excludunt sapientiam.
sed retro actis seculis
vix licuit discipulis
tandem nonagenarium
quiescere post studium.
at nunc decennes pueri
decusso iugo liberi
se nunc magistros iactitant,
ceci cecos precipitant,
implumes aves volitant,
brunelli chordas incitant,
boves in aula salitant,
stive precones militant.
Translation:
Once learning flourished. Now it's come
to be condemned as tedium:
the days of thirsting after truth
are now the idle days of youth.
For students hardly in their prime
find themselves wise before their time:
they know it all — impertinence
replaces plain intelligence.
In days gone by we were required
to stick with study: none retired,
or wished himself to be released,
till ninety years of age at least.
Now lads of barely a decade
can graduate — get themselves made
professors too! And who's to mind
how blind the blind who lead the blind?
So fledgelings soar upon the wing,
so donkeys play the lute and sing:
bulls dance about at court like sprites
and ploughboys sally forth as knights.
