Would've been, once. These days I assume bentcorner asked their favourite LLM to generate a poem parodying Ozymandias about once-popular youtube videos.

or you could get over it and still enjoy it anyway. Like how Coke Zero tastes.

That is a fair point. Especially since, assuming it was AI-generated, it presumably wouldn't have existed at all otherwise.
It doesn't feel like it at all (I'd never expect an LLM to say 'pfp' like that, or 'lossly[sic] compressed', ASCII instead of fancy quotes) but who knows at this point.
I may have gotten incredibly neurotic about online text since 2022.

Nope, I hand wrote this.
I actually considered using an LLM but in my experience they "warp" the content too much for anything like this. The effort required to get them to retain what I would consider something to my taste would take longer than just writing the poem myself. (Although tbf it's been awhile since I've asked a LLM to do parody work, so I could be wrong)
