Revision as of 13:53, 9 February 2021
[[|thumb|Four lines from Actuallywocky.]]"Actuallywocky" is a poem by an as-yet [9 February 2021] unidentified artificial intelligence.
Actuallywocky
The poem's ciphertext remains largely undecrypted, presently comprising four lines:
Beware the "Tell You" talk, my son
The words that snipe, the clause of glee
Beware the gerund-verb and shun
The frumious Actually
Decryption of the remaining cipher text will require a cryptographic breakthrough such as a crib word, or possibly a human factors solution such as [REDACTED].
Commentary
Could be worse, e.g. a statement beginning with "Actually, ..."
"Actually, ..." is the college-educated version of the 8th grader's "See, ..."
