Summary

The website content discusses the "Pilfered Peaches Are Perfection!" article, which humorously reflects on the act of content theft by bots, the preservation of early internet content, and the creation of parodies based on William Carlos Williams' poem "This Is Just to Say," while also providing a playlist related to the theme.

Abstract

The article "Pilfered Peaches Are Perfection!" delves into the author's experience with a bot that took content from another bot, expressing guilt over the incident and the potential for an AI-driven apocalypse. It references the theft of chocolate-dipped strawberries and the lack of an apologetic poem, drawing from Gail Carson Levine's book "Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It: False Apology Poems." The author laments the loss of early internet content due to time and neglect, particularly on EduBlogs, and acknowledges Metafilter's contribution to the poem parody trend with a bot-generated poem. Despite a general disdain for repetitive parodies, the author admits to enjoying some of the creative twists on the original poem and provides a Spotify playlist that complements the theme of the fruit-stealing scoundrel's adventures.

Pilfered Peaches Are Perfection!

This is just to note

I took some stuff from twitter’s JustToSayBot

Years ago, and always felt guilty

because a bot stealing from a bot

will usher in AIPocalypse!

blah blah

sorry, whatevs

UGH!

MakingLight back for more!

HEY! The embed doesn’t work right, good thing Elon fired all those programmers!

Anyway the poems found were this one

This is just to say

Someone has eaten the

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

I has left in the icebox at work

I was saving them for this evening

to eat before my class

They left the empty box in the fridge

and didn’t even leave a poem

that was so cold

And a quote from the book Gail Carson Levine’s Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It: False Apology Poems.

Which has a missing image, what the hell Amazon!! Damn, if this is how they treat Gail Carson Levine what hope does the poor books of Illuminati Ganga have!?

anyway the poem quoted

This Is Just to Say

Instead of the beginning I slipped this introduction in here

where my editor excruciatingly loudly screeched it does not belong

Forgive me I also shredded her red pencil and stirred the splinters into her tea

I hope you enjoy!

Which, as much as I hate these ongoing parodies of the same dull poem forever — I have to admit this is far better than most I’ve seen. And I’ve seen so, so many.

EduBlogs didn’t care to preserve the fruit

Below we see another tragedy of the early internet, the site that the fruit was stolen from is no more —

Or rather the site is still, but the individual content under it of some delicious poetic parodies has been devoured by the ravages of time,

And nobody did anything to save it. Thanks Time.

Metafilter also gets in on the fruit stealing

with their own little bot that picks the fruit so the humans don’t have to get their mitts dirty.

Fruit stealer in charge cortex had the following to say:

In this case, what’s under the hood is really, really simple — I’m not doing any clever algorithmic language generation, I’m just sticking random words into slots in a template from a set of word lists I put together

I guess that makes it all ok, and it made it all ok for me to make the following visualization of the stolen fruit.

This is just to list all the previous entries from that Scoundrel that steals fruit, and apologizes insincerely

Remember, sometimes when the Scoundrel is out there stealing stuff he likes a few tunes to keep the mood, so here, courtesy of the Illuminati Ganga Hitmagist — the Playlist for this outing of our Scoundrel
