If you cannot understand the above poem it is because you are not an artificial intelligence but, given that you are clearly a far more advanced conscious entity, you can surely work it out from the given clues.

With enormous thanks to Lightning Bolt for the inspiration. Please visit and read his wonderful take on AI, robotics, poetics, and all that:

Just to be crystal clear, the poem was written by me, without aid of any digital tools other than my computer and its word processing software. I wrote the poem this morning using an Acer laptop, an hp keyboard, and the standard software tool "Notepad." I used various other tools for research and other purposes, including the digital illustration, but I see no reason why I should say more since 'traditional' artists are not expected to give the brands of their paintbrushes and pencils when they go on show at the Tate or the Met.

Please to note that 'asc' is not the UK spelling of 'ask' and is not even a word. I merely selected it for use as an abbreviation of ASCII and a clue to the langue used for the above verse

Thanks for reading and thanks to Bill for making my day
