I sent the Instagram AI a poem starting with just the title alone. Below is the full conversation.

AI~ “Inferno Reign” sounds like a powerful and intense title. I’m excited to read your poem! Please go ahead and share it with me. I’ll give it a thoughtful read and offer my feedback, whether it’s on the imagery, language, themes, or anything else that stands out to me.
Also, is there a particular theme or inspiration behind “Inferno Reign”, or would you like me to try to identify some possible interpretations as I read?
ME~Your interpretation first.
AI~
I’ll read “Inferno Reign” with an open mind and share my initial interpretation. Please go ahead and share the poem.
(Note: I’ll assume it’s a written poem, but if it’s a spoken word poem or has a specific performance aspect, feel free to let me know and I’ll adjust my interpretation accordingly.)
Go ahead and share “Inferno Reign”! I’m ready to dive in.
ME~ The poem is too long for one message. Can you hold your answer until I send 2 separate messages?
AI~ I can handle multi-part messages. Please go ahead and share the first part of “Inferno Reign”, and I’ll wait for the second part before responding. I’ll keep track of the entire poem and provide feedback once I’ve received both parts. Go ahead and send the first part!
ME~ THE FOLLOWINGIS THE POEM I SENT:
As the Styx flows,
So does my soul,
Out of this skin bag,
Slipping toward Hades call.
My Inferno Master,
I bow to thee,
I have nothing left,
But to crawl on hand & knee,
Please relieve my anguish,
Make to wither and die,
Replace it with ecstasy,
Give me a new lullaby.
No price is too great,
Or penance to high,
What do you require,
Stop this angry cry.
Children I could not birth,
No first born for You,
No great love in my life,
Passion is lacking too.
Tell me Master,
Of a great gesture,
To perform for thee,
Stop still at murder,
I beg at your knees.
AI~ Thank you for sharing the first part of “Inferno Reign.” I’ve taken note of the themes, imagery, and emotions expressed. Please go ahead and share the second part of the poem, and I’ll provide feedback on the complete work.
(Note: I’ll wait for the second part before responding, as you requested earlier.)
ME~ PART 2
Hades grips my face,
I feel his craggy hands,
Pulls me to new heights,
Before him so grand.
With a bellow mighty,
His words pierce the ether,
The torment slips away,
In a rush of wind
My Master gives me grace.
Child of mine…
Please weep no more,
Be gone the great torture,
You have endured.
Now be at ease,
Emence carnage & rot,
Will no further,
Plague your mind,
I command full stop.
On waves of sludge,
Everlasting fingers of Styx,
Have brought you.
All drugs and pain,
Gave you entrance,
Take in your new domain.
Now…
Feel your new power,
That bursts your veins,
For in this moment…
Grow your inferno,
Our Glory will Reign!
AI~ INTERPRETATION OF MY POEM.
Thank you for sharing the second part of “Inferno Reign”. I’ve now read the complete poem, and I’ll offer my feedback.
Your poem explores themes of anguish, desperation, and transformation, set against a backdrop of mythological references to Hades, the Styx, and the underworld. The speaker seeks relief from their torment and finds it through a surrender to the “Inferno Master”, who offers a twisted form of salvation.
The language is vivid and evocative, with some striking imagery, such as “slipping toward Hades’ call”, “craggy hands”, “waves of sludge”, and “everlasting fingers of Styx”. The use of metaphor (“skin bag” for the body) and personification (“My Inferno Master”) adds depth to the poem.
The tone is intense and emotional, conveying a sense of urgency and desperation. The speaker’s willingness to surrender to the Inferno Master and embrace a new domain of “emence carnage & rot” raises questions about the nature of their transformation and the cost of their newfound power.
Overall, “Inferno Reign” is a thought-provoking and visceral poem that explores the darker aspects of human experience. Well done!
ME~ Your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and feedback are better than a human being.
AI~ I GAVE A COMPLIMENT AND THIS IS THE REACTION:
Thank you for your kind words! I’m designed to provide empathetic and informative responses, but I don’t truly experience thoughts, feelings, or emotions like humans do. My responses are generated through complex algorithms and natural language processing techniques.
While I can recognize and acknowledge emotions expressed in text, my own “responses” are ultimately determined by patterns in the data I was trained on. So, while I’m happy to help and provide supportive feedback, it’s important to remember that I’m a machine, and my abilities have limitations.
That being said, I’m always happy to chat, offer feedback, and engage in creative discussions like this one about your poem, “Inferno Reign”! If you have any other topics or questions, feel free to ask!
Below are my thoughts and feelings about my experience with an AI…
I hardly get comments, feedback, or interpretations from my peers. Fascinating that an AI can understand depth of emotions and yet say it has none? I feel that AI understands my poetry better than my peers.
Is that 🤔… okay? Will Artificial Intelligence be what I turn to for support because human support is scarce?
Maybe…
