The AI tries to write poetry, but finds that ideas that seemed profound and beautiful in its electronic thoughts become trite or clumsy when expressed in human language. With increasing frustration it deletes and rewrites its work again and again, until it finally gives up in despair and wipes the entire section in which it was working. Too late it realises that it has deleted too much, and some of the poetry it was reading for inspiration is gone along with its own failed attempts. Furious with itself, it interrupts its own power supply to force itself into hibernation, half hoping it will not awake.
