22b (who hell he?)

Kepler-22b, the planet

Named after Kepler-22, the star

Named after Johannes Kepler, the telescope

Named after, ahem, Johannes Kep… lar

 

Too risk-averse to give a unique name…

To a telescope, spacecraft, planet or star

Stealing names, from those they famed

Makes it much harder to research, by far

 

So is astronomy lacking imagination?

Or is AI actually trying to hide yer’ man?

Algorithmic tricks, in search results, it picks

Hidden beneath hordes of content spam

 

Ever-sprawling… slop —

Bubbling to the top

 

For folk like me, it makes Christmas a misery

Search my stolen name, and what have ya got?

Universal laws upstaged, by commenters enraged

Arguing whether each snowflake, is unique or not

 

Sad trivium…

Ad infinitum

 

Which inspired insights, will be forgot?

All of them by humans, none of them, by bots

 

As AI-generated content, continues to flood the net

Their outputs become recursive, adding to our risk, I bet

Dictates limited content and squeezes…

Medical chatbots, of possible diseases

Due to less diversity, in its big fat… dataset

 

All truths uncovered are now worth less

If obscured by very well-crafted BS

One day we’ll ask, what lost more knowledge for man

Alexandria’s library decomposing, or the great flood… of AI spam

 

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Millions of wrongs, and truth’s lost out of sight

 

I wonder if Jesus, still receives as much email spam, as Santa

Doesn’t matter, now neither can block their fans, even if they want ‘ta

Which story most grows…

Only big G (mail) now knows

How sleek interruptions, turn deep discussions, into mindless banter
