You guys should take a spin with Macbeth's last soliloquy. The one that begins "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" and ends with "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Here's a try, off the top of my head. It's bad. Yours will be good!

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Is AI's promise to us, day by day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

In 12 months or in 5 years or in 10

Will come the promised partner, muse or friend

That (who?) rebukes the data-doubting few.

Today, there's just a few kinks to work out,

All we need is more data, and more data

And still more. Fear not! Doubt not! Just wait!

Some day, somehow, the journey will conclude!

In 12 months or in 5 years or in 10,

It will be more than it is now: a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Would be fun if someone sings the Talor Swift impression :))
