Google does not get much wrong. So when people started noticing the strange inaccuracies of Google Voice, which transcribes voice messages left on users’ phones, there was only one possible explanation: Google had turned its hand to poetry.

Richard Eskow has collated some of the finer examples of Google Poet, which include some absolute gems:

and give me a little

And:

The only question now is how long it take Apple to launch a competitor: the iPoet perhaps.
