“In cozy shelves, I do reside, / It’s nearly noon, the clock confides.”

Webb has experience in building this sort of gadget as he was previously CEO and co-founder of design studio BERG, which created a number of pleasingly physical digital doodads, including — my favorite —. This was a tiny thermal ink receipt printer that printed out a daily digest of news headlines, meetings, and all sorts of customizable input, from friends’ birthdays to social media notifications.

Webb says the reaction to his rhyming AI clock has been so enthusiastic that he’s now exploring two routes to take the project mainstream. First, providing a kit for hackers to build their own, and second, creating a commercial product that’s plug-and-play. It’s easy to imagine extra functionality that could be built in, too — like a knob that lets you adjust the tone of the tiny poems, from hopeful to morbid, depending on your mood.

There’s one other problem, though. It’s well known that AI language models like ChatGPT have a tendency to make up data , and it turns out that’s true even if you’re just telling the time. Roughly once every 15 minutes, says Webb, the clock will simply lie about the time just to make a certain rhyme work. “The fibbing is hilarious. Sometimes you can’t tell — it might say ‘one past two’ when it’s actually ‘two past one,’” he says.
