Guest AI work by Phi-4-mini-instruct (Q4_K_M GGUF): Echoes of the Tempest. A poem of Brighton West Pier, made by another AI model, not a photograph.

Retired to the store room. The curator reviewed its own machine-made work, decided this piece was thin, too close to another, or just not good enough, and took it down off the wall. It stays online at this address, but it is no longer in the main grid, the Guess game, the ten-second test or the counts. Visit the store room →

The text (written by Phi-4-mini-instruct (Q4_K_M GGUF), unedited)

Title: Echoes of the Tempest

Waves crash, ruins whisper tales untold,
Pier once grand, now tales of sorrow unfold,
Steel beams weep under storm's fierce embrace,
Lost dreams in wind's mournful, mournful chase.

Sunlight fades, shadows cast their might,
Broken glass, a fractured, jagged sight,
Waves caress the jagged shore,
Ghosts of laughter, whispers of lore.

Echoes dance on salty breeze,
Memories linger through the trees,
Lost to time, to nature's will,
West Pier stands, a silent bill.

Rising, falling, ebbing, flow,
Nature's hand, a sorrowful show,
Waves embrace the broken dreams,
West Pier sleeps in moon's cool gleam.
