AI, AI, A aye aye
Spam bot, spam bot, my oh my.
Vocal, Vocal, fickle beast,
Is it now we you love the least?
We, with our keystrokes and pens,
The very life of this site depends,
On we, who through our minds and hearts
Share with all our soul’s true art.
All we say, all we feel,
Left for plagiarists to steal.
We who bleed words on your page;
Words of love, life, laughter, rage.
Hear me rage now, on this spot,
AI, AI, bot, bot, bot.
Some may wonder, what’s the harm?
Vocal, you have lost your charm.
Authenticity buried pages deep,
Behind abundance of unscrupulous cheats.
AI, AI, A aye aye,
Spam bot, spam bot, my oh my.
Vocal, say you hear my cry
Before it's time to say goodbye.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I thoroughly and wholeheartedly approve of this poetic message. Hey...why wasn't THIS a top story Vocal? Hmmm?
I've been considering leaving vocal for a long time due to AI issues. I am sticking here for now but it's touch and go - there needs to be a complete overhaul! Excellently captured here Cathy!
PERFECT! I came here for this!👏
Our cries are falling on Vocal's deaf ears. It's like talking to a wall 😭😭😭 Loved your poem!
"Vocal, you have lost your charm." ='( Ugh, I hate to say it, but it's true...it's feeling so steryl with all these bots, AI, and minimal human updates.
Something needs to be done, but we need to keep on creating the real stuff
Perfect response to all this AI stuff. Great job!
Well-wrought! It is disheartening. I come here to read creators (like yourself) who I already know and love, but I find when I go to the latest stories page, it is overrun with gobbledygook and garbage. I could understand if this discouraged people from posting here.
Please tell me you used AI to create this, Cathy, lol. (Just kidding, of course.)
Loved this Cathy, only thing missing was the string of cuss words that leave my mouth when I see the AI bot BS!! 🤣
Yes, you have spoken words so well that I have thought so many times. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Wizard of Oz is listening; or they just don’t have enough munchkins to assist 😮
Preach it out loud and proud Ai has got to go.
This is marvelous, Cathy! The LLM nonsense has got to go!
I hear this deep inside today
Speak on it Cathy! 💪🏾🌸
I broke my rule of not jumping ahead and always going back to the point I left off on in my feed because I just couldn't resist! As you might be able to guess, I echo every frustrating sentiment expressed in this! Wonderfully done! Hope the right set of eyes give it a read!
