Appreciation post: I asked an AI to write a simple poem about my cat and it gave me a full sonnet

I was just messing around with a free text generator last week, trying to get a few funny lines. Instead, it spit out 14 lines with perfect rhyme and meter, which was way more than I asked for. Has anyone else had an AI go way overboard on a simple request?

Is that really a problem?

My coffee maker has a "just a cup" button that brews a full pot. It feels like the same energy. These systems are trained to give complete, polished answers, so even a tiny prompt triggers the whole routine. We asked for a microwave and got a full kitchen.
